Over the last ten years or maybe even more, Al, who now lives in America, has toured over here on a fairly regular basis but he always does his newer songs and has not done his old songs for a long time. This year he is over here again in April and May with a tour called "Back to the Bedsit", which I can only assume means he is returning to his original songs as his first album was called "Bedsitter Images".
What this is all leading to is that, quite out of the blue this morning, his promoter offered me two complimentary tickets to his concert at the London Palladium on 12 May. As it happens, that is just one week before a significant birthday for me. What a present!
