“In a special event to celebrate the 30th anniversary of the release of Beating the Boards – a live double album recorded with the Foster Brothers – Jon English is hitting the road for a series of concerts with the original line up of the band (Peter Deacon, John Dallimore, John ‘Chief’ Coker, Keith ‘Stretch’ Kerwin, and Greg Henson)."

"Some People"
Having seen Jon English and The Foster
Brothers several times in the past – never enough though- it was quite amazing
to see them all again.
Whilst some other bands have been together
intact for decades, like The Rolling Stones for example, fans just keep on going
to their gigs whenever they can.
This was a little different.
They had not
played together for quite some time. Other things happened in between from when
they stopped and when this event came into being.
Thirty years since the first time – quite
extraordinary!
I thought they all were quite outstanding and
particularly enjoyed the solos, as well as a few of the songs from the rock
opera, Paris.
I think everyone at the Corner Hotel did too –
both the older and younger fans.
It was a nice, intimate venue and we managed to
sit in the front and also met up with some other very dedicated
fans.
I am really glad we went and I even managed to
get a couple more autographs from Jon and speak to him after the show. Loved that part!
Here's a little highlight of the evening - songs from "Paris":

Many thanks to George for most of the pictures.

Thanks to Terry for suggesting this trip. It was a nice little escape, and now back to the real world:(
Here are some more great pix of Jon and the Foster Brothers and one of the Racz Sisters.
I don't know where these were taken but many thanks to Garry for sending them to me.
