The audience mainly consisted of responsible adults aged I'd guess between 50 and 70, with some younger. So why does the Dome Theatre deem it necessary to employ numerous security men inside the auditorium, thus creating a very opressive atmosphere. Perhaps if they reallocated money spent on this to providing more lavatories........where the queues were very long! Ritchie Blackmore is a superb musician, playing an f holed semi accoustic for all songs except one, for which he used a white stratocaster. The band played for 2 hrs and 10 minutes, together with a great set from a medieval band from the Czech Republic - the lady who made announcements spoke with impeccable English!!! Little did I imagine that the skinny young guitarist I saw in Lord Sutch's Savages in 1962 would progress into the wonderful musician he is today - and Candice is a fine singer too!
