Richie Lays It Down….

Fanfare / 6th June, 2025

Lionel is an all American showman – still slim – dance routines – audience interaction  – picks out a man live streaming event for his mother plus a full on pyrotechnics  show- not bad for a guy edging 75.
He dabbled with the audience who enjoyed his banner “Make sure whatever the pain you always look good “!
Played all the hits and lesser known songs. I really enjoyed his James Brown interludeBrick House / Fire and Sail On has been ringing  in my ears for the last two weeks.
