What were you drinking or what sort of mood were you in? Your observations are so wrong! It was an intimate show in front of 2000 people and nearly two and a half hours on stage!

You wanted an announcement for an intermission?! You felt sorry for the person that Steve was referring to for the £37.50 ticket? Not his best show? What would it take to make you happy?!

Steve - it took me back to Hammersmith Odeon in the 70's! It was as intimate as the Beck Theatre in Hayes some years back.

It was pure joy and the very best concert I have been to in my 53 years (and I have worked in the music industry so have been fortunate to have seen some of the very best)

Please do it again. You are one of the very best song writers that this country has produced and I shall continue supporting you. Hoping that you carry on touring and writing. Steve Norman - excellent!!!

Still recovering from what I am sure will be the musical memory of a lifetime for most of those fortunate enough to be there. The only thing that comes close for me is my very first Cockney Rebel gig way back in 1974.

Not ashamed to admit that Sebastian exercised my tear ducts and that was repeated when The Man produced such a heartfelt rendition of Stranger out of the hat.. a wonderful and unexpected surprise treat.

Steve gave us everything he had and more on Saturday, there was absolutely nothing left in the tank when he left the stage. He gave each and every one of us a little piece of himself to take away and treasure for the rest of our lives.

Yes, he may have missed a line or two, but what did it matter? There were two thousand of his extended family there and most of us were mouthing the words along with him anyway.

Would have loved to have heard Friend for Life as one of the bonus songs, but I am sure there will be other opportunities to hear that at future gigs, maybe if I am lucky, as soon as next week in Norwich when The Maestro Comes to Town.

You've Done It All!!!
Not much to add, really. That was an experience that will live with me for the rest of my life, and old buddy Robert, not a huge SH fan..UNTIL NOW - couldn't get enough.
He took my ailing wife's seat and it blew his mind!! Steve - do it again please. My two tickets will be purchased the moment the computer stops crashing!!
PS In the bar at the interval, I was assured that one pretty woman was a certain Mrs Dorothy Harley. Forgive me for saying, but what an attractive woman, is it all right to say that in here?? Cor...!!!

We're talking "Royal Albert Hall" for next year - a re-run plus extra titles again. How does that sound? Oh, and Manchester (so far).
