The show was good overall, Altered images opened proceedings and were very light hearted in an almost empty theatre, when the Christians arrived Garry was slightly embarrassed from the lack of turn out; however the performance was fantastic, I would have paid the money just to see the Christians and their set was full of all the hits with a fantastic cover of Marvin Gaye's Inner city blues, and I immediately bought the new album on leaving; a great cd of the aforementioned hits accompanied by a string quartet and gospel singers, chilled is not the word. I have booked to see them again in Runcorn in April.
Midge Ure rounded off the proceedings and I felt a little let down he seemed to struggle vocally, understandably on some of the top notes but 10 minutes of the show were given up to a short film about his next orchestrated album, I don't want to appear unfair but from a vocal performance Garry left the rest in his wake. Vienna was good and fade to grey was a highlight as well as tears in your eyes which for me saved Midge's set from being ok to good. But in an ideal world we can only harvest the words.
