The show finished at 9.42pm with Vicky doing Shout which Dennis Knight came back out on stage to do the song, rang Dad and I walk back to the Blue C. It was FANTASTIC with great singing by Vicky as well as entertainin the crowds which I can see her dad in her and she does the songs of her dad very well as well as the back up band were just great as well as Dennis Knight coming out singing with Vicky. I look forward to seeing Vicky live again soon and to those who have not seen Vicky live do yourselves an favour and SEE IT which you will be impressed and amazed.
