But while one cannot fault the level of performances which, in the main, were extremely satisfying, something was missing, and it robbed the event of that air of authenticity that it so richly deserved. Not in terms of the music and performers, but the atmosphere was not there and one got a sense that not enough was done to recreate the ethos of that colourful period in our musical history.
