Duke Special, Limo And Flash

Me and Charlotte went to see Duke Special on monday night in the Empire. I'd never seen him in the Empire before so was quite excited about that. So what happened. Well the support was... interesting. Was this German guy called Torsten Harder. He was funny because he was german and played cello. He was real good but not quite a crowd warmer upper. And it was funny cause he played like one song. Then said some stuff about Bach that I couldn't really make out. Then he started playing another song. Then he broke a string and had to go away again. Was pretty funny at the time...

So Duke's piano was in the middle of the floor on a wee stage and we were standing right infront of it. Then out of nowhere he's there at his piano and he starts singing some songs. Which tends to happen a lot at these concerts. The theme for mon night was cinema. So quite a few of the songs were played to films. Crazyness. Then there was this great bit where some of his support came on his wee mini stage. Was the guy from Bell X1 there which some people found quite exciting. And then they sang everyone wants to be a cat. From Disney. Was great. I love that song.

Another interesting part was at the end when they decided they would finish with that song at the start of grease. So they start playing the movie on the big screen waiting for the song. About 10mins later Duke gets bored waiting for the song to start and just plays it himself. Then when that finished it started in the movie so everyone sang it again.

Heres couple of photos I took with my phone. They're rubbish. Forgot my camera :-(.


Claranet guy and Duke (yeah we were that close)

Peter Wilson, Bell X1 guy (Paul Noonan apparently) and Steven Seagal

And thats that.

Was a wedding in the city center yesterday. And they had a limo. And they locked the keys inside the limo and were trying to pick the lock with a big wire. Wish I'd taken a photo. Not something you see everyday.
