amazing as per usual.cheri made it and thoroughly enjoyed the whole evening.fantastic performances from all the band, and those lartey sisters legs made for a wonderful stage backdrop,welcome back girls.

Hi to both Jimbo and Stella and apologies to Daz401 and his friend who didn't manage to find us in the restaurant - all of us plus Cheri and Kathy from California were there in the far left hand corner of the restaurant from around 5.15pm.

They both thoroughly enjoyed their first live 'Steve Harley' event and can't wait until Sundays concert at The Stables. I will get to hear about that on Tuesday when we are visiting some sites around London together including 'Abbey Road'!

Last night was staggeringly good and the versions of Sebastian, The Lighthouse, Cavaliers and Riding the Waves as good as any I have witnessed in all the live concerts I have seen since 1973 - Linton and Adam make for an extraordinarily strong power backdrop for all of those tracks - but they can be light to the touch as shown in the reggae influenced 'Too Much Tenderness' from Prima Donna!

Robbie's professionalism astounds every time even when the wireless lead to his guitar dropped which meant he wasn't being added to the mix he kept on playing and when James realised the problem he just promptly came in and took over the guitar solo on the keyboards - all in all a fantastic set of individuals for Steve to ply his trade around, what heaven it must be for him to play with these guys for a living.

James has skills on the keyboards that mark him apart from normal keyboard players in rock bands and put him on a par with classical pianists and I will tell him on this forum that it does not go unnoticed with the fans that do not usually post on the forum!

As for Barry, he will one day get The Lighthouse solo correct but I am happy for him to keep trying! Electric Violin is very underrated in the music scene and my friend Jennie who came with me last night and also attended the Rochester Cathedral thinks he is really lovely - as she asked me before the show, will the violinist be here?

Having the Larty Sisters there was a stroke of genius as well and WOW - is it me or do their legs go on for ever and ever or is that me just getting old - they are both very, very lovely!

As for Steve he appears to be having a ball and I only hope as I approach my 53rd birthday a fortnight today that I am still having a much fun teaching our next generation of leaders when I am as old as him!

We got the feeling of riding the waves
We got the... We got the... We got the...
We got the... We got the... We got the...
We got the... We got the... We got the...
We got the feeling of riding the waves

Fabulous evening, can't wait for Birmingham next year!

Sorry i cant remember any more words to "the sacrifice" Not due to drink honest

My wife and I came over to UK/London in December to see Steve Harley live for the first time in his home country. The show ranked upon the best we have ever seen. And they include many performances in Holland & Belgium with several "Cockney Rebel" line ups.

The quality of the sound in IndigO2 was very good. We also spoke to some other SH fans which added to the good feeling of the evening.

Thanks to SH & Band plus the other SH fans our december 2011 has already become unforgettable.
