Posing with the boys after their sound check |
They all flew in yesterday lunchtime and headed to the Palace for a sound check before the evenings performance.
The band had been performing down in Bognor on the Saturday night - in fact, they have had a very hectic touring schedule of late and were on a 7am flight heading to Alicante. It´s just a shame that they were back off again today and couldn´t stay to enjoy some Benidorm sun - a real whistle stop trip.

Stan opened the evening and was on top form - though he didn´t mention the "F" word, which I think many were hoping and waiting for!
However, he was certainly on form and kept the entire venue giggling with his gags throughout the performance - quite a feat.
Discussing "golf" with Stan! |
He was very keen, so watch this space for details!
There were a few moments of panic when The Swinging Blue Jeans came on stage and the sound system decided to stop working - but thankfully the engineers soon sorted it out... or maybe it was Alan fiddling and poking with the leads!

A great night - well done to Christine for hooking them.
Don´t forget, the new show starts at the Palace at the end of next month - this year called "EF-EX"..... I´ll be bringing you some behind the scene tasters soon.
