The new Karnataka lineup hits the Robin 2.

New singer Hayley Griffiths is a wonderful addition to the band, with her powerful, rich and sensuous voice.

We also welcome Çağri Tozluoğlu on the keyboards.

Singer/wongwriter/multi-instrumentalist Colin Mold adds a further dimension, for example allowing Ian to play bass on The Journey. I was already a fan of the eponymous CD of Colin's earlier band Kara (a different one than the South Korean girl group) so it's great to see him in Karnataka.

The drums are now in Matt McDonough's more than capable hands.

Good to see Ian again after what, for me, had been quite a long gap between gigs.

Enrico's still doing great things on guitar, and in the chorus.

Colin's violin also adds a new dimension.

Thanks again for another night of your great music!
