John Giddings came on stage to introduce James Walsh of Starsailor, who played support, but Mick Hucknell needed no introduction.

Happy faces all around as he swept onto stage playing the well-loved Simply Red numbers spanning the last 23 years.

For the first time ever Mick Hucknall duetted Holding Back The Years. Anastasia joined him much to the delight of the crowd. (Video below)
