It was really good!!!!! I don't know his very early stuff that well, but it all sounded good. And I know what to put on a jukebox to get Belle Lettre to dance ;)

It was brilliant fun. Sadly no ''Whip In My Valise'', but lots of stuff from DWWS. He's got a really good band with him, and the crowd were very welcoming. I did go to the loo during ''Prince Charming'' - seemed the best thing to do.

He's still got something,that's for sure! :)

It was alright actually, not really my cup of tea overall (my wife is a big fan of the Dirk-era) but you can't fault Adam's energy, though I think when his voice is exposed (eg not a loud band behind him) it sounds a bit weak. Even from a non-fan perspective I'm not sure he could pick a stronger setlist overall. The band were fine.

I do think, however, that the girls are in danger of cheapening the whole thing and he'd be much, much better off without them. It would be nice if they could sing for a start and the little mime-like actions are embarrassing.

6/10 but pleasantly surprised.

I'd agree with this - they were very embarrassing trying far too hard to look cool and sexy......

It was the most fun I've had at a gig in years.
Utterly brilliant - no provisos.
