Nigel was there tonight, Richard Bennett just wrote in his diary:
Tonight's gig was at the SECC to a sold-out capacity audience of 4,414. Our friend and brilliant sax player Nigel Hitchcock joined us this evening for the first in a series of U.K. dates. Nigel's a legendary sax man throughout the U.K., played on loads of records, shows and a book of transcriptions of his most famous recorded solos has been published. It's great to have him on board and he played brilliantly which is little surprise. A good, relaxed gig tonight... maybe due to the late night celebrating John's 40th. Certainly not error free on my part, but really enjoyable and judging from the audience's reaction, it went down a storm with them as well.
