I Player comes up that it only works in the UK, which is what we thought.
Yes without a VPN its tricky

Yes, hence my comment about a VPN.
I went to a couple of parties at Kenny’ flat in South Kensington. I found him to be agreeable though always ‘over the top’ in terms of his personality. It was almost as if he could not step out of his public persona but perhaps that was the genuine article.
Cleo was nice enough but nothing to rave about in my book.

I found KE hilarious as a teenager on capital radio, but his TV show wasn’t as good, and suspect that as an adult he would no longer have seemed funny.
Cleo R was odd - a woman with huge breasts on a gay man’s show, she wasn’t there as a showbiz partner/equal, but it also wasn’t sexy. Just weird really.
No idea about his politics.
Talk about underwhelmed. At the National Jazz & Blues festival 1969 at Kempton Park racecourse a band was booed off stage on account of the dreadful singer.
The band was Jeff Beck’s. The singer was Rod Stewart.

Sounds fair enough to me.

They had sound problems on the Pyramid stage all weekend. Queen had a pretty epic stage set when touring.
Not much in the way of an epic stage set there - and yet they filled the place to the outermost corners.

Well, you say that. It was a revolving stage to allow quick changeovers of the bands. Of course it was packed. It was Live Aid and a hot ticket. Not many lights during Queen’s performance, but then it was early afternoon (and it was fantastic!).
I was lucky enough to be at more or less the band’s final performance with Freddie, at Wembley Stadium. It had been postponed and moved to the end of the tour. There were definitely lights!
Great musicians don’t ’need’ lights, but it’s a bit of a red herring to say the stage show is a measure of ability. Barking, in fact

An interesting and good (for context) follow-up.
