On a cold and windy October night CdeB performed
in one of the strangest settings
yet - the car park at Asda supermarket in Doncaster, South Yorkshire. He might be more used to large concert halls like the NEC or stately homes but this made no difference to Chris. After all this concert was in aid of the NSPCC and he has spent countless hours supporting childrens charities. A crowd estimated to be about 8,000 strong
saw 90 minutes of classic CdeB rock
songs that only the devotees would have expected. This was the Chris of "High on Emotion" and "Don't Pay the Ferryman", not the more gentle love songs that most people have come to associate him with. Of course, "The Lady in Red" had to make an appearance but this was virtually the only time that the tempo slowed down. He said he would warm us up and he certainly did so! |
