Suggs - My Life Story in Words and Music
Posted by CDC on 22 January 2012 - 11:35am.
When:
21st January 2012
Where:
Aylesbury Waterside
Comments:
Suggs on stage accompanied by a pianist tells tales of childhood, London, Madness, family and hitting 50 interspersed with excerpts of favourites - Baggy Trousers, Madness, It Must Be Love, Cecilia and others. Its gentle, heartwarming, funny, charming and surprisingly moving. Suggs so charismatic, that glint in his eye undiminished and easy charm so natural and unaffected. A real joy of an evening.
The Audience:
Mainly 40's and upwards, plenty of Fred Perry and Ben Sherman in evidence. Couple at the front bit pissed up needed to be ejected as becoming overly 'enthusiastic'. Generally very chilled.
Food & Drink:
My new years commitments dictated that mineral water was order of the day, my better half consumed red wine which seemed reasonably priced.
It Made Me Think...:
Suggs is a national treasure.
He is now on the fantasy dinner party list.
Madness were/are ace.
I hope I look that good at fifty.
He's right : family and friends are what its all about.
