Captain Sensible: Solo & Beyond... (2017)

The list of shows for 2017 is believed to be complete (lists for some years are very much 'work in progress').



* as Captain Sensible

Saturday 26 August 2017 - location unknown

Set: Happy Talk.

Comments: From a posting by Captain Sensible on social media - 'Yours truly has just got back from a wedding... and all I have to show for it is this lousy pic of bruv Phil, Johnny Moped and myself. Of course I dedicated an impromptu version of Happy Talk to the lovely Patricia and my son Fred who got hitched today. I'm rather hoping someone has captured this performance, my first with Dolly Mixture for 30 bloomin' years - and nothing much has changed either... as per usual I got all the lyrics jumbled and annoyed Debsey by pilfering cake from her plate while she had her back turned. Yeah baby... I've still got it!'
