Syd Lawrence Orchestra

[Sandra]

Our first venture into a big theatre for a while last night. Chris Dean and The Syd Lawrence Orchestra at the Key Theatre Peterborough rescheduled from last year. Sadly,the band played to a much-reduced audience. It is still taking people a while to venture out since covid.
Fabulous music of Glenn Miller,Tommy Dorsey and all the big bands. Chris Dean also sang two songs of Matts.As Long As I'm Singing and a beautiful version of Ebb Tide. Matt sang it with strings but Chris's pianist and arranger in the band Trevor Brown transcribed it for the pianist and orchestra. Chris is a big supporter of the fabulous voice of our Matt.

I have been to the theatre a few times quite recently and it was almost full so maybe the folk around your area didn't fancy the show much, who knows?

When I sailed back from NYC in May on QM2 the theatre which had been full every night on my previous voyage was almost empty and I felt so sorry for the artists performing to a handful of people, it's a large theatre with a balcony so it looked very sparse.
