Barry Manilow in Manchester

I LOVE Barry!

Not sure if I'm allowed to post this but Ticketmaster are selling tickets in next few days for various venues across UK

I LOVE Barry!

Go if you really want- better to try than regret.

He's not doing Manchester, sadly. Unless they add a date later.

Just been mentioned on Chris Evans radio show. Seems he is doing a few gigs in UK for anyone interested tickets on sale soon

He’s now doing a Last Last Tour and will be performing at the O2 and in Manchester I think. We have been going to see him for so long that we can’t give him up.

My wife went to see him live at the Palladium last June. It was his final tour. She thoroughly enjoyed the show.

Not one of our favourites but I do like ‘I Write The Songs’, David Cassidy did a nice version. Son and Daughter In Law saw him at LAX when they were going through security, they were quite close to him and said he was tiny.

I like ‘Mandy’ and ‘Could It Be Magic’.

He was of his time.

I like the song Mandy, but he is just not my kind of performer.

If I ever gave a thought to BM, it would be "Oh, is he still alive?

I saw him a few times years ago in Cardiff, he was an excellent performer then.
I wouldn’t go now, new face, no voice, I still play his old songs though.

Ah, right, just read thread properly, it's not a live concert!

Not for £30!!

I looked online and thought he wasn't coming to Manchester? It looked as if Liverpool was the northern venue. Hope I'm wrong, DD and I would love to go!

Didn’t realise he was still alive!

It was a surprise to me as well.

No. My rule of thumb is if I switch the radio off when they come on, I wouldn’t want to hear more. I think Copacabana is one of the cringiest songs ever, only beaten by Seasons in the Sun.

Only £29.81 a ticket.
The Manly Barrilow himself can't be there for that money.

Actually, I quite like some of his songs.

One memory is of him on TV singing "Can't Smile without You". Four year old DD watched him then announced "Mummy, he's singing that he can't smile - but he is smiling. What a silly man!".

Didn’t realise he was still alive!

Think it's a night of his music by candlelight. 20th Sept at the stoller Hall. Near Victoria station. Not the man himself. Its about £30.00.

Never really fancied him or his music (not that he cares 😂 )

Blimey. A blast from the past. He’s 82 now …
Not for this Mancunian.

I actually like Manchester but for me the only thing worse would be Barry Manilow in Wetherspoons
