16/07 Nottingham Royal Centre MUSIC
DOES THE TALKING Neil Tennant and Chris Lowe are veterans of techno-pop but their back catalogue is to die for, with collaborations featuring the likes of Robbie Williams and Dusty Springfield. The segue of Where the Streets Have No Name (U2) and Can't Take My Eyes Off You (Andy Williams) was splendidly done. They cleverly let the music do the talking, with no deep dialogue between songs, ably backed by two guitars and a mean drummer. We were treated to an anthemic Go West where the mixed-aged audience pretended to be construction workers, ?? la Village People. The
new guitar-based material takes time to settle on the ear but Home
And Dry came across beautifully whereas Sexy Northerner was politely
received by an audience keen to hear Domino Dancing, West End Girls,
and the rousing It's A Sin. |
