Russell headlined a fabulous evening that featured newcomers The Nocturnes, a four piece vocal harmony group, international showman-musician Gary Lovini, and Jonathan and Charlotte on brilliant form. The evening ended in the traditional manner of flag-waving and singing of ‘Land Of Hope And Glory’… oh, and fireworks!
There are two reviews in the Blackpool Gazette; the first, by Gareth Vickers, has a little video clip while the second has a “singing shot” picture to accompany the report.
There’s a great ‘behind the scenes’ video report by ‘Blackpool Channel TV‘ that gives an insight into the production of the event and includes interviews with Gary Lovini and Jonathan and Charlotte but, unfortunately, not with Russell. It’s well worth a look, though.
There are three pages of photos on Mark Liebenberg’s Flickr album that are also well worth a look (we even spotted a few Russellers in the crowd).
