	REVIEW - MAINLY ACOUSTIC, NZ 13/02/2007 "Jo Giles and Jon Winter following a fired-up first half feast of players, took the stage and gave us a night to remember. From their first moments on stage, getting acquainted with the lively full house crowd, they showed good presence, and effortlessly eased their way into a cracking set of songs, interrupted only by brief introductions and humorous anecdotes that entertained, charmed and connected with a keen audience clearly loving the 'crack'."
