On BBC 4 tonight.
At 10.35pm an hour of songs from the new album - filmed at the BBC Radio Theatre. 350 fans got free tickets out of 42,000 applicants.
Followed the Wembley gig from 2017.
And I like The Sinner before it. So a good night if you're in. And there's catch-up if you're not.

And I like The Sinner before it. So a good night if you're in. And there's catch-up if you're not. Good stuff. I'll never forget blagging a ticket for his first gig in 2015, in the tiny Porchester Hall, and chatting with The Divine Comedy (Neil Hannon) before it. This hero of mine, who stubbornly refused to tour, was standing right in front of me singing all those songs I'd listened to and loved for so many years. |

That 2015 must have been very special. Glad you got to go as a super fan. I put in for one but no luck.
I was blown away by the Wembley gig and spectacle of it. And all those smiling faces, all singing along. Wish I'd gone now. And I really love the behind the scenes material and we see Jeff laughing.
I had no idea that he wrote Do Ya at only 22. I was also stunned by the thought of what it must be like to write a song and have all those people singing it back to you. I know that applies to all successful musicians but for some reason, I only made that connection last night.

I had no idea that he wrote Do Ya at only 22. I was amazed Justin Hayward wrote Nights in White Satin when he was 19.
What a feeling it must be to be in your 70s and still be playing such songs.
