Specially when George Michael is touring just with an orchestra

Does that mean no DC  with georgie this time,that will mean that both mk & gm have dropped him off in the one year.

According to the tour dates, both Glasgow and Manchester have been cancelled.

You mean the people that look like Danny Cummings, Jack Sonni and Phil Palmer?

I'm sure the dates have been cancelled due to ill health, not poor ticket sales.

I myself am intruiged that Mr Palmer doesn't appear to be on the tour.  You may also notice that Chris White seems to have taken more of a prominant role in the interviews of late.

However, check the end of BIA from Birmingham.  You have to admit this is pretty hot stuff!!!

Watching the BIA clip from The Straits was impressive I have to admit (apart from the sax part).  I've thought for a while that MK's way of playing DS songs these days spoils the memory of his incredible performances as a younger man.  I don't know if it is a lack of energy/enthusiasm, or my own tastes changing, but I'd love to go to a MK gig knowing it was solo stuff the whole way through.  Maybe that is why I'm not bothered about seeing The Straits even if they do play DS songs better than MK does these days.

Actually the sax part is one of the best part from that video, its incredible to me how well it fits and sounds, and makes me recall when Guy says that Chris White doesnt plays sax with them on tour because there are no part sax on the songs to have him playing... well, there never were part sax before in many songs, but you can add them and sound like that!
