Brief review: An evening of music and chat with the Dire Straits bassist. Lots of hits from his main band and a couple of other numbers too in a lovely setting. The whole thing was filmed, so maybe expect a DVD soon. Musically excellent, I was quite pleased that I identified occasional Thunder guest Steve Smith on keyboards and ex Paul McCartney guitarist Robbie McIntosh on the 6 string. Also present was co vocalist Jess Greenfield, who I think is in Noel Gallagher's live band. All of the musicians where of the highest calibre and this contributed to an excellent evening.
Venue and View: Huge converted church. Late purchase meant we were in the back row of the standard seats, but on the end of a row, meaning a quick exit to the bar was possible at the interval.
