The Diamond – Sutton in Ashfield (near Mansfield) 20/04/2012


 

A great live music venue that has played host to many names in the music business over the years.

It was lovely to have a nice welcome back from the venue staff when we arrived there late afternoon.

This was the first show in at least three years to include an acoustic version of the Bewlay Brothers with Dan accompanying me on keyboards this went down really well, especially with the hardcore Bowie fans in the audience.

I have gotta say a big thanks to James who had travelled down to celebrate his birthday with around 30 of his friends who were well up for coming to see us. Great to see so many dressed up in glamrock gear. I seem to recall plenty of feather boas scattered around the place later that night. I found myself wearing a brightly coloured feather boa which someone had thrown to me during the Thin White Duke phase of the set which stood out like a sore thumb against the black and white garb I was wearing. Again we really enjoyed the night and have to say a big thanks to everyone who came to see us and to the staff who were eager to catch as much of the show that they could.
