Went to see Paul Carrack last night at The Festival Theatre, Edinburgh. Fantastic intimate venue with a lovely Art Deco interior and also a great history with some big names having tread the boards there including Laurel and Hardy! Good up-tempo set for someone like myself (that isn't a big fan) including new ones and the big hits that I knew, including my favourite The Living Years. I got a little overexcited when he said they were going to play How Long but it wasn't the version I was hoping for!
Anyway, it got me thinking about the upcoming concerts and I really wish I was being treated to venues such as that one and seeing Mark play them. Surely a venue like that with it's beauty and history can truly inspire you - both Carrack and his warm-up commented on it. Instead we'll mostly be sitting in warehouses.
Sorry if you took this as a rant (it wasn't supposed to be) and I know there are some nice places on the map.
