What promised to be the event of all events, celebrating an
icon in the music industry, sadly started 30 minutes late. We were given no real explanation except that
it was a situation ‘beyond our control’.
The organisation of this event was bordering on the ridiculous. I have never seen so many people queue to get
a drink!
Thank goodness for the acts and the very talented and
amazing vocalist Alan Cross. I’ve not
come across him before but I certainly will again. The man oozes class and his vocal range
caresses each note without hesitation.
Just when you thought the entertainment couldn’t get any better on walks
a man who I watched on a TV show at the beginning of the year, George
Gallagher. This guy truly is has a voice
‘Old Blues Eyes’ would have been proud to have.
I would certainly pay good money to watch these two gentlemen perform
their own ‘Rat Pack’ show.
The dance troop, who popped up from time to time were good
but felt that the layout of the room didn’t do them justice. The dancer, who performed Mr Bo Jangles with
Alan Cross was very good but felt she needed to have on a suit and a hat to
give it that bit of extra class. The ‘Burlesque’
dancer was fine but coming on for a second time seemed pointless, as we had
seen all her moves the first time. The
accompanying quartet was good, producing some very good harmonies.
To sum up, a great night of entertainment that could have
easily been ruined by the organisation of the event. The rendition of New York, New York is still
ringing in my ears.
