    I went to see Tommy Emmamuel in the NCH on Wed.

    If you ever, ever hear he's coming to town, and even a tiny part of you likes acoustic guitar, you have to go see him.

    Easily the best 20 quid I ever spent.

    That's art, if I may cross threads for a second.

    That's true- his voice wasn't androgynous

    Marc Almond might be better impersonating Cher...

    Strange choice of song for Paul Buchanan ? Would have loved to here him interpret Wild is the Wind . Liked the arrangement of Life on Mars but give me Lordie's vocals over Mark Almond any day !

    Fame must have been a nightmare to arrange for an orchestral rendition

    Very enjoyable show.

    This Blackstar is hauntingly beautifully performed - the stand out performance so far imo

    Yeah, this is quite special.

    I would not like to be following this performance.

    Not liking the orchestral arrangement for Heroes ?
    Wish Lorde had been included in this lineup - her interpretation of Life on Mars was amazing
