First night out with Di in the wheelchair- scary but everyone opens doors for you - good access at the Barbican though the sound up in the “slips” was a bit off centre until the ears got used to it. Not seen Paul Carrack before but got good recommendations from various people. Slick but safe was my first thoughts. He got the very middle aged audience up onto their feet by halfway through the set and played all the old Mike and the Mechanics favourites and more. The band were excellent though the use of two drummers ( the other from the support band) seemed a bit pointless and many of the songs seemed bit ploddy on the rhythm. Came out to a snow storm …….

set time 1hr 30 ( finished at ten. ) Support for whole tour - Tinlin
