We saw the amazing new line-up of The Drifters, they were absolutely amazing and mesmerising. I could have been taken away to the clods had I not been grounded by the front row in proximity to the stage. Cramped like a tinned herring. 'You can get up and dance' if I got up I would have been dancing with them on stage.

Spur of the moment to book tickets to see this same day show and we went through to Eastbourne to the Royal Hippodrome Theatre,never having visited this place before.What a friendly woman on duty who doubled up as a host in the evening and here’s a huge factor in our enjoyment of the night-the staff! Such friendly fun-loving people and all volunteers demonstrating their commitment to this gorgeous traditional theatre.As 6’ tall customers the seating was fine on this very busy evening and the show itself was excellent though at times the volume wasn’t high enough when “Dusty” sang though not a criticism of her singing which was sublime hitting some smokey deep notes at times.Also a scene with her partner Claire pointing what appeared to be a remote control at a big screen to silence it-really,in the sixties/early seventies?! I doubt they’d been introduced at that time.But overall a great production with a great band and small cast covering the decades and the changing political scene for race and sexual orientation equalities.Wish it was touring to see all over again!🏳️‍🌈
