There were many father-and-son units, but on Saturday it was clear women had missed Family too, as one of the capital's classic venues became a sold-out grooving, singalong mass of more mature music-lovers.

In five years the group, with vocalist Roger Chapman's distinct blues voice at the top of the mix, produced eight albums which ranged from folk-rock balladry to soul-funk in style. This re-incarnation had co-founders drummer Rob Townsend and Chapman joining vibes player Poli Palmer and guitarist Jim Cregan from the group's late line-ups. The "In-Laws" onstage, including saxophonist Nick Payn, guitarist Geoff Whitehorn and Paul Hirsh on keyboards boosted the band to nine, more than ever appeared in their heyday.
