Had perri Perri Chicken, rice and corn for dinner, drank Coke with No Sugar, ate chocolate brownie, paid my meal, use my mobile, waited and went inside, did writing , drank Coke with No Sugar and had an look at my autograph Book. The show started after 8.30pm with Slowhand Sultans coming on stage which they performed 2 sets doing classics by Eric Clapton and Dire Straits whch included Tears In Heaven, Layla, Lay Down Sally, Walk Of Life, Lady Writer, Twistin by The Pool, Money For Nothing as well as other songs including While My Guitar Gently Weeps, Crossroads, Before You Accuse Me and many others and there was an interval which I bought myself Pork Crackle and coke with no sugar and use my mobile and also everyone was enjoying themselves dancing and singing along to the songs. I left at 10.45pm before the show ended which Dad picked me up, stopped at Hungry Jacks, ate Fried Chicken Burger and Chips, drank Coke with No Sugar and came home. It was an FANTATSIC show which the band played great doing those great songs which has stood the test of time and still sounding great today and everyone enjoyed themselves which I had an great time too.
