Hi
Just a quick note to say the concert in Plymouth last night was awesome. Although Chris looked considerably thinner than he did 2 years ago he certainly had more energy. He thrashed out some great tunes and was completely into the music.
I have to say that, until last night, I wasn't quite sure what to make of The Delmonts. I've listened to the CD a few times and wondered what the thinking was behind the huge departure in style form his usual music. If I'm honest I wasn't sure that I liked it. But The Delmonts is oddly, if not very subtley, addictive and when I saw him playing it live it all made sense. He was obviously happy playing what he loves and his love and enthusiasm for the music is infectious. You can always trust Chris Rea to produce great music. I'm now the proud owner of a Delmonts T-Shirt!!
If anyone is due to go to a UK gig you won't be disappointed - Chris is the man!
