Deacon Blue - Real Gone Kid (Radio 2 in the Park 2023) 

Feile '90 in Ireland & backup act for Paul Heaton in 2022. Incredible................ Big gap, 2 phenomenal performances!

You have hit the nail on the head,,I've watched so many live vids and she really mixes it up ,a true talent

Your spot on there ! They know exactly how to get everyone going... I have seen them along with there friends from Glasgow. Texas ..who are also great live. They use exactly the same tried and tested formula of the set list and comments .. eg Ross with "are you sure" and Texas who tell people to go forth and multiply if they do not know "suspicious minds"... but if it works ..don't fix it. !

@@rachelb8002yet here you are, watching & commenting on them, Rachel… 🤫

Me too

Ja naturlich, danke!

Cardiff was an amazing gig as well

@@witc0mbe128 would have liked to be there someday 🙄 I have some great footage of the Birmingham gig . I had a seat in the 3 front rows and will be uploading it in the next few days. I have footage from the last tour ..again in quality hd which I hope will be as entertaining . Just search Johnny uppal for my channel .. in short I don't upload anything which is similar to being "up in the heavens" looking for a little dot ! Glad you enjoyed your experience in Cardiff. I have to be honest and mention how I noticed everyone seemed to be in the trance of yester year ..the grey hair, the Zimmer frames, the people who could not stand up .. the hearing aids , the middle aged gentlemen who I would never imagine jumping up and down with man boobs ! ... inc me ! But hey .. everyone goes through that circus light.😀

Where in Australia matey😮

@@user-mx3js7fv6g Brisbane

😮 I did ask...where and when in Australia. Adelaide hopefully. Will make High point of holiday if not in SA.

@@user-mx3js7fv6g I live in Adelaide so would’ve seen theme here (28th November) but I’m seeing them in Brisbane instead on 6th December as I’m in Brisbane that night anyway

Got my tkts for the show in Wellington NZ

It wouldn’t be Deacon Blue without him, would it?

Brilliant 🤩

When you have typically older bands from the 80s obviously you are going to attract a core audience as well the youth that don't get to go to Many festivals unless the travel to other places.

​@@paxtonpomykal5243That wasn't my point.

@@captainbadger1013 your point doesn't really stand up then if you look at the city of Leicester it's probably the most diverse in the UK or at least top 5 so when marketing a huge event of course they will play into that it's common sense

@@paxtonpomykal5243 Of course I'm well aware of Leicester's ethnic makeup and only live 40 miles from the city. They made a big song and dance about this fact, then had hardly any diverse acts and the local population clearly were uninterested in attending the event.

@@captainbadger1013 how many 80s bands are one diverse or two played on radio 2 that would come down to perform i.e no one really from abroad it's not exactly a high selection
