This is Joan’s first solo tour and though she says it will be her last major tour she still wants to continue as an artist.

Joan included many of her much loved classic tracks including Down To Zero, Rosie, Me, Myself and I and Drop The Pilot.

But it was the timeless and beautifully crafted 1976 love song Love and Affection which received the warmest applause from a highly appreciative audience.
