Paul, can I admit that I am so totally envious. LOL and I am not an envious person. but envious in a very very happy way for you! Now how lucky is that, that you have an expo the same day and in the same town!
we want to hear all about it.
I think Kev on here is going to go see Mitch perform when he comes to San Francisco. Kev? where are you, btw??
I can't believe it is so cheap! I'd give anything to hear Mitch. I am sure he will do, "please be kind". I absolutely love that song and always can't stop tapping my feet when I hear it. lol
have a ball and give us the low down.
*edit to add...I think one of the mods on here wanted to go but none of their friends could go.

"A person that loses a partner is called a widow. A child who loses a parent is called an orphan. But there is no word to describe a parent that loses a child, as the loss is like no other. Think of someone you know or love who has lost a child, and take a few minutes to remember & honour their angels X

Review from The Guardian:
Matt Goss/Mitch Winehouse
Royal Albert Hall, London
The oddest double bill of the year? The former singer of Bros and Amy Winehouse's father takes some beating. Despite appearances, though, this show isn't the result of a blindfolded promoter sticking pins into a celebrity magazine. Matt Goss has reinvented himself as a sharp-suited Rat Pack impersonator, while Mitch Winehouse last year released an album of American jazz covers. And the similarities, as Winehouse says, don't stop there: "We've both had a loss in our lives: Carolyn, Matt's sister, and my darling daughter Amy."
Whatever the rest of the world may think of his transition from cabbie to crooner, he is warmly received here, and for the right reasons. There's a pleasing warmth to his voice, and his eight songs slip down with relaxed charm. Dedicating Autumn Leaves to his late mother, he worries that he might cry, but leaves the stage blowing kisses. Who could begrudge him his moment?
Meanwhile, Goss is keen to let us know that there is musicianly substance under the showbiz wrappings. But the clutch of self-penned ballads and swing pastiches he slots into the set are greatly overshadowed by the classic covers that comprise the meat of the act. Goss performs in a tux these days, and he delivers Fly Me to the Moon and the rest with careless Cockney verve – just as Sinatra might have had he grown up in Peckham. Or, at least, that's the comparison Goss is aiming for.
He is convincing enough to have won a residency in Las Vegas, and a troupe of dancers, the Dirty Virgins, do their bit to recreate a louche casino atmosphere. Inevitably, though, it is Bros's When Will I Be Famous? that get the fans rushing to the stage. If he's frustrated, he hides it – just as Frankie would.

I saw some YT videos of Mitch and he sounded wonderful as always. I've loved his voice from the moment I heard it. I also adore this genre; a by-gone era. to me, he reminds me in sound of the late Bobby Darren. His orchestra is wonderful too; I love the arrangements.

I spoke to a Facebook friend earlier who was at the show and met Matt and Mitch. Apparently Mitch is in good spirits and the show was a real good night out
