Having watched said gent in Oxford my synopsis is thus:

First half - Warmy uppy
Latter - Karaoke for the kids

To conclude a modern day George Formby which ain’t dissing the chirpy chappie…

I'd hoped a video like this would turn up
I enjoy Mr. B's originals and am happy to hear the chap's choices of Sparks covers (I should have realized Moustache would get in the medley!)

Was a tad unenthused on here last week

I withdraw any negativity. Really enjoyed his set at Manchester. Anyone who can sing every word of 'Here Comes Bob' gets a big thumbs up from me

He was better than I remembered as well.

People who missed his act missed a treat. OK I've always been a supporter of Mr. B....but he was more than on top form at the RAH. And he is a very approachable fella.

I think he's got a great act, and I've listed to quite a bit of his stuff since first seeing him as Sparks' support act a few years ago. His Sparks medley was lots of fun, and he put the songs together well.
