Rod Stewart at the Echo Arena

What a great surprise! An early birthday present from my very thoughtful wife.
I’d always wanted to see Rod Stewart in concert. Jayne bought the tickets months ago and kept it secret until the day of the show. I didn’t even know he was due to appear at the Echo Arena in Liverpool.
The concert was great. Rod Stewart truly deserves the much misused term “Superstar”. At 8pm on the dot the curtain went up and we were launched into two and a half hours of Stewart classics. No second rate support act. Just the man himself with his fantastic band of accomplished musicians and backing singers.
Best of all, we managed to sneak a camera past the Nikon Police!
The lady who searched Jayne’s bag told us we’d have to “leave the camera with that man over there” in one of the locked cages. Yea right!
We were jostled in the crowd. Jayne headed for the loo and no one chased after us.
It really annoys me that because a camera looks like professional equipment, you are not allowed to take it into these venues. Yet they never enforce the ‘No Photography’ rule. People were firing off their built-in flashes left, right and centre with no intervention from the security personnel.
All in all it was a good gig and we were lucky enough to have good seat right alongside the stage.
Hope you enjoy the pictures.

Four Girls in a Caravan
Next time you feel smug at having nabbed the last space in a Merseyside car park, you’d better hope the other person who had her eye on that space wasn’t Sylvie Gatrill, or you could get back to find your car’s been cut in two with a chain-saw!
You see, Sylvie ‘knows people’ - mainly stage hands and scenery builders in the region’s theatre-land – who are quite adept at the art of vehicle dissection!
And if proof were needed, Read the rest of this entry »
Taxi!
Just ignore the date of this post - it’s nearly Christmas!
Well at least it was last night in Liverpool’s theatre-land where Night Collar was enjoying its second airing in eighteen months.
A second but much shorter airing, running for just two instead of the four to six weeks that is usual for comedies at the Royal Court.
Maybe they were unsure whether the comedy would work so obviously out-of-season. To be honest, I had expected it to have been rewritten to take place during the summer months. After all, with the exception of the reluctant Santa, none of the of the characters were particularly tied to the festive season. Read the rest of this entry »
