Lionel Richie
I went along yesterday, assuming that I would be able to enjoy ironically the concert at Kingsholm, and hoping that I might also be able to enjoy it nostalgically as my mum used to play Lionel a lot when I was little.
What actually happened was that I ACTUALLY enjoyed it, despite the rain. I left with my cheeks hurting as I spent nearly 2 hours grinning and singing. Lionel's authentic charisma, expert performance, self-effacing humour, bountiful back-catalogue and arthritic hips made for a joyous experience. HIghly recommended.

A quick flick throuh suggests it's more or less the same show, and band, as I saw on Sunday. Though I recall him being a bit more relaxed and humorous when I saw him.
Highlight for me was "Dancing on the Ceiling" (13:30 on the Dailymotion clip).
