Two years ago as part of the Summer Pops, Deacon Blue stormed the Liverpool Echo Arena. The audience from start to finish were beside themselves in joy having heard an expansive and top notch set from one of the great bands of mid 80’s. Two years on, they were back in Liverpool to perform for their legion of fans and yet again simply blew the cobwebs out of Liverpool’s lungs.

If there are any albums that summed up the great sea change in the way that rock music was presented and looked upon 20 years ago, then music lovers need only look at the at the music of Bryan Adams and Nirvana. Bryan Adams released his Waking Up the Neighbours album after stunning success with the ballad (Everything I Do), I Do It For You. This song captivated the romantic hearts of the single buying music lovers and stayed at number one for an amazing 16 weeks. By the time his album came out, Britain’s youth culture was falling in love with a Seattle Grunge band in the shape of Nirvana.

One of the final songs of the evening summed up totally the reaction of the strong and enthusiastic crowd the whole evening. Whatever You Want indeed! Billed as Quo Fest, it was certainly a celebration of three great styles of music; dynamic, soaring and full of tunes designed to make you stand up all night and dance the night away.

There is nothing like a homecoming. It’s a chance for the family to welcome back a member of their own and lavish attention on them for the endeavours they have been through and give them credit for their success.
