Monte Carlo

Anyone know what this is all about? I mean the occasion etc? Dinner jackets can only mean one thing - a NHB reunion:-)

Seems to me it's just a couple of lucrative gigs for MK. Maybe I'll win the lottery before then. :)

I noticed Elton John and Ray Cooper are performing early the following month.  Dinner is included in the cost too so the price is not bad and the venue looks pretty special.

Cool venue. Might be a wierd atmosphere though, tucking into your foie gras and chips while MK and the band are rocking out on Sultans.

Well at least half of the guests will have to crane their necks to see the performance unless they are all to be sat at one mega-long table facing the front. Then there will be the inevitable drinks waiters in everyone's way at crucial moments. The incessant talking because there WILL be people facing each other across tables, like it or not. It will be like the Brit awards or similar. There to be seen only and not to take part. I have a feeling there will be a lot of corporate tables taken.

I am actually surprised it is on offer to true MK fans as I don't think there will be many there.

Yeah. I guess Isaac will be the only one running down to the front for the encores, everybody else will be drinking their after dinner congacs. :)

In fact will there be anyone there for the encores? Will they not be on the verandah with their Cuban cigars playing I-Spy My Yacht whilst overlooking the harbour? :-)

Well this show is a bit different from the others so I guess there may be a good chance it will be used to make the live dvd,just my opinion anyways!

I would have thought for a live DVD you need a positively receptive and active/participative audience. This is going to be a sombre affair in my opinion. I would guess any live recordings will come from an enthusiastic and vocal/appreciative crowd, not one where they are all dressed as penguins:-)
