Been a big fan of TDs music since early 80s when bought first albums and saw the ‘Flat Earth’ tour show at the Queen’s Hall in 84. He had mainly retired, but saw him again in 2011. Another gap, but back touring again! Great support from the very entertaining Martin McAloon bravely playing (and largely pulling off) solo his brother Paddy’s masterpiece Prefab Sprout compositions. Enjoyed that.

Now a professor at Baltimore University, he used elements of his music technology teaching in the show to great effect, live streaming his DAW and merging in video in clever ways … impressed! This time he said he would perform more of his favourites and lesser known songs. Still lots of my faves too, but not such a perfect set for me. Still, great to see and sing along. He’s an important musical figure and I still love those first 2 albums!
