So Leo Sayer managed to drag himself over to the UK. He has been very quiet whilst living in Oz.

Smokie was one I used to take my wife to. Living next door to Alice is a good weepie.

Hot Chocolate was always playing in my car.

Never thought much of David Cassidy.

I love David Essex, I keep saying i will go and see him but i never do. My daughter went to see Madonna a few weeks ago in Birmingham she was as rude as ever. :roll: but my daughter says she was great for her age. Really jealouse :lol: :lol: Dt

Have a great night San.
I met David Cassidy once.In 1973-74 he came to Schiphol and he was doing some promo shoots on our football pitch.Bad skin.
In fact the next night we,my wife and i(who was a member of his fan club) saw him in concert in "De Doelen " Rotterdam.
I thought he was pretty good in fact he still is.

Just got back and....

Smokie was good after the first couple of numbers (bass drowned them out) living next door to Alice, well that goes without saying!

Hot Chocolate? More like warm chocolate (not impressed)

Leo Sayer was BRILLIANT! Still has a great voice and so natural :grin:

David Cassidy, I thought was rubbish (but then that's my opinion) Not sure if people were leaving early to catch their train/taxi or if they thought the same.


Although we had a pretty close view of the whole stage there were no big screens, unlike Symphony Hall which I think is a much better venue.
