You know how it is....you might have differing musical tastes to your loved one but you agree to go along to a gig to see someone who you wouldn't normally think about seeing just to keep your loved one company.
Then, shock, horror, you really enjoy the gig
It happened to me last night.....the singer involved was John Barrowman (Torchwood's Capt. Jack). I've heard bits of his CD and it sounded a little like harmless easy listening, nothing special, a little Barry Manilow*, middle of the road, nice music for nice people, etc.
But I have to say he was really good, and in concert has an amazingly strong voice. 'Interesting' collection of songs, some of which I'd not been overly keen on before but he did manage to bring them alive.
And how much mincing can one bloke on a stage do? The sort of audience that I'd expected: many middle aged women and their elderly mothers. But, a damned good evening.
So, who, if anyone, have you been dragged along to see against your better judgement and ended up liking them?
*oh yes, she's dragged me along to see him too. Well at least I didn't have to queue for the gent's!
