Firstly, a big thanks to the Marshals at Lincoln. We turned up in the dark, but still got a warm welcome.
Turning now to the show's main entertainment, we were disappointed with Mssrs Lynch and Tarbuck. I guess it was the opportunity to see a big name, rather than being a dedicated fan of Jimmy Tarbuck that made us part with £17 EACH!
Kenny Lynch opened the 'set' with a few Sinatra-type songs, which he seemed to struggle with. Tarbuck didn't do long on stage. He told a few old gags and had a pop at Hull being proclaimed a City of Culture. It all finished 5 mins earlier than billed and to pad out the time came an awkward bit where they dragged up the lead guitarist of a support band to accompany Tarby and Lynch in a final song. The guitarist (who was in his twenties and had allegedly never heard of Tarbuck) was on the phone to his dad backstage and not prepared.
Sorry, might just be me, but a Palladium performance - it wasn't!
Quite enjoyed the Friday night band (Ska Britania) who were good musicians, energetic and had the Marquee rocking!
Anybody else feel the same? Or am I just a M.O.G.
