American-style bar with stage and replica baseball, gridiron memorabilia (and the obligatory Route 66 signpost) on the walls. Regular programme of live music. Circa 150 in the audience. Verviers is a small town that has probably seen better days (textile industry?) but pleasant enough, nonetheless.

First set: Feeling This Way, Too Old Too Die Young, Mr Cool, When Your Parents Go To Sleep, There Goes Johnny, Beware Of The Dog, Lady Rachel, Super Salesman.

Second set: May I/Puis-Je, Star, Whatevershebringswesing, See You Later/Didn't Feel Lonely, Everybody's Sometime .., Shouting In A Bucket Of Blues, I Don't Depend On You, My Speeding Heart (aborted at intro stage by Kevin), Stranger In Blue Suede Shoes.

First encore: Thank You Very Much.

Second encore: Shouting In A Bucket Of Blues.

Village hall in the local community centre in a rather isolated location. Sort of place where the local primary school might do P.E. and have their annual prize-giving! Not a particularly promising setting and probably not very inspiring for Kevin and the band but they rose above it and got an enthusiastic reception. 150-200 in the audience.

First set: Feeling This Way, Too Old Too Die Young, Mr Cool, When Your Parents Go To Sleep, There Goes Johnny, Beware Of The Dog.

Small bar and stage in leafy suburbs/woods with some nice grounds. Intimate feel - can't have been more than 60-70 in the audience (two of whom turned up after the gig was over - well, it did start at the unusual hour of 17:00!).
