I would have settled for that but Ciaran had also convinced a stage-full of imaginative players to add to the experience. There were a few escapees from Jackson Cage, notably Paul Wilkinson, who spattered the music with tone and effects and bits of emotional highlight. A violin bow was scraping against a cymbal, Declan worked the keys and the audience was rapt. Only fair that Ciaran should come on the show a day later and talk up the show, the record and the impressive trip.
