The Daffodil, Cheltenham - 5 December 2013

Tweet from Mary-Jess



Hope you understand the message ?

It was wonderful evening

Unusually for a concert, the music was split into four sets, interspersed with the various courses of the meal.
Between sets, Mary-Jess circulated round all the tables, speaking to every audience member - so typical of an artist who really appreciates her supporters.

Mary-Jess was ably accompanied by John Broomhall on keyboard and classical guitarist Declan Zapala. I made a note of each of the songs, but won't share the list just yet as I don't want to spoil the anticipation for those attending other concerts this month.

The 15 numbers included some of Mary-Jess's well known songs, a few covers, Christmas music (of course - some in new arrangements) and a couple of CC 'classics' that I have never heard from Mary-Jess before.
The final song, sung in Chinese, was absolutely magnificent - it was worth the journey and price of the ticket for that song alone.

I have posted some photos in the Mary-Jess fan group on facebook

Not sure whether they are viewable without a fb account

I'll also post them here when I have a little more time.

A few photos. Not very good quality I'm afraid, the lighting was very dim






Used flash for this one. Poor Mary-Jess's eyes took a while to recover

So now the tour is officially finished, I guess it won't be spoiling any surprises to share the set list

Did I make the most of loving you?
