As you will all know, there are several tracks on the two albums that feature saxophone, with a few very prominent solos. These were played by session players at the time, and Steve has been looking for someone special to take centre-stage for those solos at Symphony Hall.
He is speaking tonight personally to one very high-profile musician, his own first-choice, and a man he respects very much. I might be able to confirm the booking later tonight.
RACHEL
PS the musician, from a British band, also plays percussion, so SH is hping to keep him on-stage for much of the evening!!

Ahh I was wondering how this was going to be covered.... interesting news . Thank you Rachel

First person that comes to my mind is Andy Mackay. I know he plays many instruments, not sure about percussion. He'd do a great job.

Talking about percussion who is on drums Stuart Adam or both?

Rachel has previously confirmed Adam as drummer for Birmingham,Stuart has been approached also, to be on percussion on the night.
We are lucky that Steve has two such brilliant (and different style) drummers to call on as and when their diaries/other commitments suit.

We are in for a treat at Birmingham.Only ever seen Steve Harley/Cockney Rebel once with a Sax Player.Feb 1991 when they played a near 3 hour set at a Charity Concert in Kendal at The Leisure Centre.The sound from the stage with the Sax in the band was fantastic..it really added to the experience and the music took on a whole new dimension....
