O/T Bill Wyman's Rhythm Kings at The Bridgewater Hall, Manchester, Tuesday 29th October 2013
Hello,
Not *that* O/T is it, hah-hah-hah! Fourth time seeing this outfit and I cannot add anymore to the nonsense that I wrote a couple of years back about the same show in the same venue...this is just two hours of classy playing by relaxed and massively talented musicians for the reasonable sum of £40.
You cannot imagine more of a 'no-brainer' than that, right?
As a suffering Crystal Palace fan, I was chuffed to hear Bill lament the team's performance after a good-natured heckle from the audience: he is a funnier and droller guy than you might imagine and keeps the patter going.
The evening really is a team effort and everyone takes their turn in the spotlight, frequently responding to exhortations from their bandmates to raise things even higher...all terrific to hear.
It helps of course when you have people like Geraint Watkins, Georgie Fame and the one-and-only Albert Lee...in short I urge you to see this lot if you have the chance!
The only downside of having a great seat is that you don't feel comfortable taking photos...hence this is the only one...win/win all round!
Cheers,
Simon.
