Won't playing with an orchestra and choir mean that there will be less spontaineity than usual ?
People wandering on and off to 'do their bit' will disrupt the flow, so perhaps it would be better if there were guests to join the last song of each half, say Milton and John for 'Judy Teen' end of first half, Cregan and others for 'MMS'at the end ?
The show will be fairly short if it's just the two albums, so who knows what may be planned as extra ?

Hello !
Although the two albums are not particularly long, as I think it will take at least 1h30min to represent well them both.
A good half-hour will remain safety for a few extras including: "Make me smile", "A friend for life"; "(Love) Compared with you :woohoo: ...
The important thing is how everything is taken for the release of a DVD / CD of the concert ;)
Regards
Nick

Duncan lives in South Africa, and James Lascelles is Steve's current keyboard player, and is himself a brilliant concert pianist. On the "guests" subject, please read Steve's latest DIARY entry.

well said rachel.james is an integral part of this band and is a must for this gig. would really love the suggestion that both stu elliott and adam houghton get equal billing on this one both bring their own style to the band and BOTH DESERVE that place up there,as for original members,didnt they all walk out once? no thanks the current line up is the best ever anyway and have been together a number of years,will the lartey sisters be there too?
