Justin Hayward, New Theatre, Cardiff last night. A lovely evening, with plenty of highlights. My personal favourite was 'You and Me', which I hadn't seen him do solo before.
His voice sounded a bit wobbly at first, but he seemed to improve as the evening went on - and there was a lovely few minutes when he paid tribute to all of his old Moody Blues bandmates, all of whom have now died. He sounded and looked quite emotional when he spoke. I particularly liked when he said that Mike Pinder 'made my songs work'.
He had some great help from those on stage with him, including Mike Dawes, who had his short support act moment. He's doing a tour next year. I've seen him with Justin before and he is is a very talented guitarist, but I don't know if I'd want to see a whole evening of him playing.
A great way to spend a Sunday evening.

Not perfect. Never claimed to be.

Sounds great. I babysat his daughter for him in the 1970s when my then girlfriend was asked to do so and I went with her. Nice chap.
