Brilliant show by Mike & the Mechanics at the Villa Marina tonight. At 55 years of age I thought my days of watching great rock stars, such as Mike Rutherford of Genesis, a few feet from the stage were over.
A couple of years ago we paid over £100 each to watch Eric Clapton, in what we believed were the best seats, only to find ourselves needing binoculars at the O2. Tonight was as good as gets with brilliant company - half of the Manx athletics community seemed to be there, and we were as close to the musicians as the athletes.
But there could have been one more. We bought some tickets a few months ago and got one for son Ben just in case he was home at the time. Then a few days ago Ben told us he was coming home today so we bought a ticket forgetting that we already had one. When I realised that we had a spare ticket I tried to offload one among friends just an hour ago before the concert.
What an idiot. What a concert. What an encore stomp.Thankfully Ben enjoyed what he saw and heard with his two tickets!
