What can I say! What a magnificent evening. First the vocal skills of Roy Leslie who is a fantastic singer,and then the highlight of the show. I must confess to having a tear in my eye when he came on. The mannerisms, chat and humour are just like his Dad was when I saw him 21 years ago. An early song called I believe "Emily Jane" was beautiful. Has he recorded this? As the show went on he got really into it and he certainly has a way with audiences. At the end of the show, he sat at the end of a long line of autograph hunters and I confess, I went around the other side( sneaky) bacause I just wanted a photo. He was in the middle of signing when I asked him for a smile and he willingly obliged.When I told him I was going to put it in the Scrapbook, he was delighted. What a lovely man, just like his Dad!
