Don't Give Up on Us- David Soul

Seaside Shuffle- Terry Dactyl and the Dinosaurs (also Jona Lewie)

Sparks should do an ENTIRE Christmas album.

is apparently a major Christmas fan so I can just imagine him pushing for the idea.

Leeds, 23/5/18.

What a night and I hope to relive it again soon! Would have loved to have seen them around Indiscreet though- alas, I wasn't born!

Edgar Wright's filming it for an upcoming documentary. Even if it doesn't include the full gig, it should be awesome!

Mr B sounds quite amusing but half an hour or so of him in Leeds tonight might be 25 minutes too many

I was particularly fond of

military jacket... some of the poses he pulled on stage while wearing it were very Freddiesque.
