The controversially curmudgeonous crooner kicked off his European tour in fine voice with a career spanning set that boasted four Smiths songs
(Hand in Glove, Shoplifters of the World Unite, I Know It’s Over, Last Night I Dreamt That Somebody Loved Me) and some solo era favourites (Everyday Is Like Sunday, Irish Blood, English Heart, You’re The One for Me, Fatty). Special guests were Chicago act, Brigitte Calls Me Baby featuring frontman Wes Leavins whose vocal style evoked Roy Obison, Elvis and even the night’s main attraction.
