Fan Comments
Mike’s show was very well received by the half-full Olympia. The audience sang along to the alarm songs and 68 guns was received with a very big cheer. Mike was in good voice to begin with,but did sound a little hoarse after the 2nd song, he explained that he had just played 11and1/2 hours for his fan club in wales and had a cold. At the end of the set mike asked the audience if they would like to hear “rescue me” or “blaze of glory”, i must have been the only one put my hand up for “rescue me”, although “blaze of glory” was ideal to finish the set with.
