Doviak and Jack Mitchell (aka jackthesticks) plus Iwan Gronow (not in shot!) .....

'His backing band also deserve some recognition in that regard, especially the rhythm section who entirely do the songs justice'....'

...the band are fantastic...not a backing band ...a band - 4 musicians all working together to create brilliant music.

Johnny Marr & Iwan Gronow..

'....Marr looks like he came out of the womb with a guitar round his neck and he oozes cool as he effortlessly plucks the riff of classic after classic' ...

'...And as he stands holdings his guitar aloft it was a fitting way to end a triumphant homecoming'.
