I like Illsley's voice, and I like his music as it is. I don´t expect the same from him than from MK, and John´s music is ok for me, makes me feel great when listening.
You might get lucky, now and then

Yes me too Jbaent. I like John's music and voice very much. I bought his Live in London. It's a great CD.. I enjoyed very much his version of First we take Manhattan from Leonard Cohen. Really beautiful cover...

For those attending John's tour, this is more or less the setlist for the first concert yesterday in Groningen: http://www.setlist.fm/setlist/john-illsley/2016/de-oosterpoort-groningen-netherlands-5bf1bb20.html
It was a good concert, really enthousiastic crowd. New songs are great, as were Tunnel of Love, Calling Elvis, Expresso Love and the Bug. On the biggest hits I did miss Mark though and On Every Street and Romeo And Juliet were the least songs I think. The background singer just overdid it a bit sometimes and sang where she really wasn't needed. Overall, fun night!

Was there too. Nice concert, especially his solo songs. The DS songs seem to miss something obviously. 5 songs from the new album were played and I liked them very much. I bought the album before the concert, in fact I bought the first sale of the world! Afterwards me and my dad had a chat with John and he signed our cd's and took a picture with us.

Enjoyed it and I think all others going will too.

Those of you who have seen John live this year: does he play only bass or also guitar at the shows?

Well, not to rub it in your face, but it's a nice record. I especially love the song Long Shadow.
Actually all 5 songs he played live from the album are pretty cool.
