RAH, London 10.4.17

Since the night of the 4th of April I had managed only an average of three hours sleep a night, and two hours on the flight home. By the night of the show at the Royal Albert Hall on the 10^th, I was seriously sleep deprived but not yet hallucinating. 

  

The Royal Albert Hall is a very special place to play and I’ve been lucky enough to have performed there on three previous occasions. It proved to be a spectacular night with everyone  raising their game,especially Chrissie and James(because Chrissie had told him Jeff Beck was in the audience)! Ricky and Nick were on fire and I, of course, at one point played the TROMBONE for the first time.

YES the trombone as part of my intro into ‘Middle of the Road’….you just had to be there!! Luckily there is photo evidence! My father who played the trumpet at the RAH with the ATC band in the late forties/very early fifties would have been so proud!!

 I will post again when we start the European Tour in a month or so that kicks off with the Harley Davidson Festival in the South of France at St. Tropez on May 13th. The stage is on the  beach!

Love,
