Mike was very excited to discover that Tony Bennett was in town so we went to our first show in London last night at the Royal Albert Hall.
We felt a bit left out as everyone in the audience had white hair but nevertheless, we managed to entertain ourselves in our box seats and were all set with our bottle of white and sandwiches.
Proving that old people are indeed extremely punctual, everyone was seated by 7:55pm and the show began promptly at 8pm. Tony Bennett was great, so smooth and charismatic. I am not too familiar with his music but his songs are all short and sweet. I can't believe the guy is 81! He actually performed "Fly me to the moon" without any amplification at all. Apparently he does this regularly in his concerts to demonstrate the lost art of voice projection. Photos to come!

Sounds fabulous! I would love to be crooned by Tony. Incidentally it is the jazz festival here in Melbourne too. Will let you know what we get up to here!
