Yes he did.

Thank you. We'll find it on catch up.

Loved Elton. Just wish he'd sung Skyline Pigeon.

Two hours non-stop singing and playing the piano and he's 76.

Like him or not (and I do), you have to respect that!
Nigel is 74, Davey is 72

Elton was absolutely wonderful. So good to hear all his songs.

Elton was just brilliant!

Kate1949 Sun 25-Jun-23 23:20:33

Was Elton good? We've been out. I set the tv to record, came home, settled down to watch it and it said 'recording failed'. Grrr

Loved Elton. Just wish he'd sung Skyline Pigeon.

Despite having seen Elton John 5 times since 1975 for an assortment of reasons I’ve never liked him. Ray Cooper was my highlight tonight.

After Father and Son, I was dabbing my eyes with a tissue. I looked at OH and he was doing the same.
How can I love you is beautiful but makes me cry too.
Can Stevens writes some lovely songs.

Really enjoying Elton. Don’t know any of his guests.

I wonder if his gold outfit will one day be shown in the V and A. 🤔

Shame Dua Lipa wasn’t there.

Primrose53 Sun 25-Jun-23 22:08:53

Just watching Elton. never a huge fan but he is doing well! Watched Candy Staton who you could barely hear.

My friend’s OH is there working on the Oxfam stalls. She always used to go but she can’t cope with massive crowds now.

Perfect weather for everyone.

Did anyone watch the Ezra Collective - really joyful.

Lomo123 Sun 25-Jun-23 21:17:57

Elton superb. Loved Dermot Kennedy too.

merlotgran Sun 25-Jun-23 21:08:52

Well, that’s a great start Elton 🥳

Dermot Kennedy is good.

Callistemon21 Sun 25-Jun-23 20:27:54

As a friend used to say "another nice programme to fall asleep in front of".

merlotgran Sun 25-Jun-23 20:24:34

I fell asleep watching the Arctic Monkeys.

I wasn't keen on the Arctic Monkeys, thought I'd better watch as DGD went to see them last week.
It must be an age thing 😁

Arctic Monkeys do nothing for me either!

My 27 year old really doesn't like them either but her fiance is a huge fan. So she's seen them a couple of times but has refused point blank to go again!

The Irish chap, Dermot Kennedy I think. I really like his stuff.

Perhaps I didn't give them a chance 😁

Callistemon21 Sun 25-Jun-23 20:21:02

I missed some of his set but will catch up later

Thinking of DGD and DGS, still teenagers but it won't be long before they're setting out on their lives away from family.
And the DC years ago, setting off with their backpacks, full of anticipation and hope 🙂

Oh dear, I'm getting maudlin 😥
