Chris de Burgh concert review
Liverpool Philharmonic Hall in Liverpool, UK
Fri, 08 May 2015

This was our first trip to the philharmonic hall in Liverpool, although we only live in north wales and I must say I'm very impressed with the venue great stageing and terrific acoustics, very Art Deco. Anyway about chris de burgh after being a somewhat armchair fan for many years It was gobsmacking absolutely brilliant, my wife came with me and she was even more impressed as she didn't no many of the songs he played and loved his voice. All the favorites were there like don't pay the ferry man, lady in red, boarder line, and loads more as well as most of the the new album " the hands of man". The band were surperd and the hall made them sound fantastic, what was a bit bizzar was Chris and co doing there version of Africa by Toto, although a great song in its own right not sure why he slotted that one in, did Chris write it? I'm sure someone will tell me. I think the most poinient moment came at the end of the show when he sang " you will never walk alone" for the annerversiry of hillsbough and the 96 that lost there lives, very emotional. All in all it was one of the best gigs iv been to. Thank you to Chris and his band for making it a most memorable evening.
