The show started at about 8.10pm with Glenn Shorrock coming on stage starting off with the Beatles song Please Please Me and for the next hour and 25 minutes would perform classic hits from the Twilights, Axiom and Little River Band as his version of the BobbY Darin hit Dream Lover as well as telling some stories of his career and having an great sense of humor as well as having an great band which they played great and everyone singing along with the songs which it's great. The show finished @ 9.25pm and after the show waited near the backstage door to get an autograph from Glenn Shorrock which I got an autograph and an photo with him and I asked him about the Twilights and Axiom which he said there is no plans for the Twilights to get together at the moment but likely there is plans for Axiom as he wants to do shows with brian Cadd and saw Leigh and Michael my gig friends which they are well. It was an FANTASTIC show and everyone had an great time including myself as well as Glenn still singing and sounding great at the age of 68 and also to those who have not seen Glenn Shorrock go and see him as he puts on an great show which I'm sure you will be impressed. set List- Please Please Me Needle In A Haystack(1966 with the Twilights) Arkansas Grass(1969 with Axiom) A Little Ray Of Sunshine(1970 with Axiom) It's A Long Way There(1975 with Little River Band) Emma(1975 with Little River Band) Lady(1978 with Little River Band) Dream Lover(1979 solo hit) Seine City(1976 with Little River Band) Reminiscing(1978 with Little River Band) shut down Turn Off(with Little River Band 1978) Home On A Monday(1977 with Little River Band) Help on it's Way(1977 with Little River Band) Cool Change(1979 with Little River Band) Golden Slumbers/Carry That Weight/The End)
