This album is the reissue of Fingers Of Fire (2002), a compilation of live tracks recorded at different concerts and originally released in aid of arthritis research. The links have been edited out and the applause is low in the mix, but the music retains the warmth and humanity of a trademark Giltrap performance. [...] Topping it all off is the bonus track, a recent studio version of 'The Dodo's Dream' from The Peacock Party (1981).
