Spandau Ballet

Just a little note to say that setting aside the crap venue and awful facilities at the O2 Spandau Ballet were really very very good and far better than we all thought they would be. Tony Hadley in dark suit rambled about the stage like a demented shark alternately growling and cooing the wonderful lyrics to their beautiful anthems. Each line supported in riposte by the most fabulous sax music bringing the crowd straight back to the 80's and that haunting sound they captured so well and made their own. The brothers Kemp prowling around the stage with their guitars, menacing the other guys and rolling into each old standard with energy and charisma. This was a great night out- now think how much better it could have been at the Hammersmith Odeon rather than the plastic greenwich bubble.
