Concert cancelled twice so third time lucky for us – covid pandemic I believe !
We were all nestled in a box at the back of the Regent Theatre and Midge came out and delivered with aplomb including two unmistakable covers, Fade to Grey and No Regrets before launching into one of my favourites The Voice.

Clever set designed that makes maximum use of the small stage area at the Aldwych, with a seamless rotating floor and various floor sections that collapse to allow doors and backdrops to be ushered in vertically as the narrative develops. Doors are particularly effective as a metaphor for a change of place and …More»
Pre Christmas gig – 2nd visitation of The Sweet 1970s glam rock band in London’s packed Islington assembly hall. Andy Scott guitarist is the only active performer from the original line up.

2nd time around. Big audience turnout. All enjoyed the Los Endos finale

A welcome day away from the rock face. Forte drove to London and we shot across on the tube to Royal Academy of Music – on Marleybone Road, knock out art deco interiors. Sadly miss first soloist event but watched ensemble deliver with aplomb Tippett’s ‘Fantasia Concertante on theme of Corelli’ in the Duke’s …More»
A adult day out at Queens.
Indulged with a bottle of Rose Nye Timber and enjoyed the spectacle and the warming sun.
Peniston had good run.
