Teleman, the support band, were really enjoyable. Reminded ...

A friend has sent to me an image of a newspaper cutting showing "Half Nelson" playing on the same bill as Alice Cooper in November 1970. Anybody else got any info on this? I assume it must b ...

I picked up a few extra copies of the free programme that were available at the shows. It's just a folded piece of A4 card with short essays on Sparks and the orchestra. PM me if you'd like one posted ...

Just bought 3 circle tickets from Seetickets as I was unable to get them from the Barbican website.
I think I'm further back than I've ever been at a Sparks show!

I was downstairs first night and upstairs at the very back, looking at the stage to the left. The sound was absolutely fine where I was sitting. On an earlier thread, someone was at the side and said ...

Sounds great, Ally. I've never been to a gig in Glasgow, though was at the show in Edinburgh last year.

Such a difference to the Union Chapel show and, thankfully, just as enjoyable. As we were standing up, there was a lot more jigging about, singing and general audience calling out - or at least from t ...

Stunning and thoroughly enjoyable as usual.
It was great to hear some new songs compared with the THOM set last year. Russell's voice just amazes every time.
The venue was spectacular for me from a ...
