Yes @ Sage Gateshead - March 18

What a powerful weapon the finale to Stravinsky's Firebird Suite has been for this band. As Steve Howe led them out, a not quite packed three floors of Sage One stood to attention for one of the classic rock bands who refuse to go away. In fact, as happened in the eighties, there are two bands once more and the other is due at the City Hall in the summer.
CD Review: Diane Marino - Soul Serenade, the Gloria Lynne Project.
