Let me do three things:-
1] Provide a clickable link to Robin Denselow's review in The Guardian which I largely but nor entirely agree with.
2] Provide another link to some of photos that I took of a thoroughly enjoyable day by clicking here.
3] Respond to GUEST,CJB and the statement at 06 Jul 15 - 10:39 that The Southbank was greatly amiss in NOT stating that Shirley would not be performing in the programmes by saying how much I enjoyed the songs that Shirley sang on the stage of the Purcell Room on Sunday (accompanied by my band-mate, Ian Kearey) and provide photographic evidence that it actually happened."

Nice work, Vic. Photos are super, as was the day. Those who missed the day for whatever reasont were very unlucky; those who were there and were disappointed must be pretty hard to please, IMHO. We travelled 10,000 miles to be there, and loved every second.
