What a come down that is

Too right mate. A waste of money was Mr .Carrack. He used the occasion to invite a load of his past it mates to play at the venue. The worst gig I've been to.
Been to loads of gigs and that is the only one that I rated as bad.

Few weeks ago I bought a Paul Carrack CD in Sainsbury's for £7.99. When I opened it up there were 5 discs in there.

Says it all. 90% is shit with a few songs I knew.

Of course. Yes. My hero.

If Mr Carrack wanted to he could put on a great show, the night I saw him he was too over indulgent and didn't play anything I wanted to hear.
