The show started 15 minutes late. A "warm-up" act of 3 young men singing stupid songs was absolute rubbish, as all my neighbours agreed. We never found out their names.
After they left the stage, nothing happened for over half an hour. No-one came out to explain what was happening (or not happening!) Some people walked out in disgust.
Eventually, the Lancashire Hotpots arrived on stage. Someone shouted, "Where have you been?" and the leader of the group said that he works in Coventry and had broken his fingers by having something dropped on them. No proper explaination of why they were so late, and definitely no apology.
The show itself was very good, but they were only on stage for just over an hour, and we all felt short-changed. The "broken fingers" of his left hand didn't stop him playing his guitar.
On the whole, a frustrating and poor value for money performance. Bad marks to the management for letting the audience down.
