A night to remember

I WAS FORTUNATE TO BE INVITED TO ATTEND the much-awaited comeback concert of Spandau Ballet. After 20 years, the boy band visited again Belfast last nite (14 October) to entertain their avid fans (including myself watching them live for the first time) since 80s. The concert kicked-off with their new songs from their latest album, “Once More” and top-chart songs such as “Through the Barricades” and “Gold”. The lead singer, Tony Hadley still got the elegant and well dressed persona and the golden voice - having the maturity and emotion singing their old songs.



The crowd was singing along when the band sung “Through the Barricades” which quite meaningful to the people in Belfast depicting the situation during the troubles in the 80s. As usual, I brought my digital camera and capture some parts of the performances. Everybody was dancing when the Spandau Ballet finally sung “Gold” at the end of the concert. I really enjoyed the night as I was also remembering those old times when I was still in university humming their ballad songs.

Never Forget: hilarous and enjoyable

I watched this musical in June 2009 and honestly, this is quite a different mood of watching live shows at the Belfast Grand Opera House! The audience was singing loud, clapping their hands, enjoying as they sing along with the artists on-stage. Im not a "Take That" fan, but this boy band group (reunited few years ago) is massive popular in the UK! So, if you know all the fav hits from this singing group, Im sure you will enjoy this watching as well.



Finally, the overall production is superb, the lighting, backdrop and choreography are exceptional.; except for the sound system at the upper floor of the Opera House.
