Arena, Robin 2: Thu 1 May. Superb gig!
Damian Wilson, Arena's latest front-man, fitted in perfectly with the band, adding value to these talented musicians' splendid performance.
Not only is Damian a top-class experienced-vocalist but he's always been able to engage with an audience and win them over after one song. At one point Damian came off stage and sang amongst the audience! Clive Nolan was on fine form, regaling us with amusing anecdotes between songs and delivering those great keyboard moments we all love. John Mitchell's guitar-solos were superb and tonight I saw him enjoying the audience responses and had a few wry smiles, reminding me of Jack Dee, during the stage banter, while always maintaining his trademark gravitas and professionalism. Mick Pointer drummer and powerhouse behind the band kept everything together along with the slways cool Kylan Amos on bass. It was a great set-list and a memorable night out, thanks to the band and especially the sound engineers who are so vital to get the balance just right!
