We were never great Lulu fans but had heard that her new album, largely written by her, was a very blues/rock genre and so we were looking forward to another night in York.

The newspaper reviews were not brilliant but obviously we don't share the same though patterns as she was truly brilliant. A great band, very gutsy performance by Lulu and a voice that blew the auditorium to pieces.

By the end of the concert the front of stage area was full of people dancing (ok it was worse than dad dancing and more like granny dancing but who cares). Lulu took time to reach out and touch her fans and made a special effort to connect with the disabled people.

In all honesty it was probably one of the best gigs we've been to, possible all the better because we weren't expecting too much.
