Barry Manilow was briefly thrown off his stride at his Newcastle show on Wednesday night after some very vocal fans reacted enthusiastically to a particular song lyric.
Barry was last in Newcastle in 2016 on his One Last Time tour, but, thankfully for his fans, that tour's title didn't prove to be correct as, after his latest string of UK dates were significantly postponed due to the Covid pandemic, he is finally back in Britain performing all his many hits.
With a career spanning over five decades, the now 79-year-old has built up a huge following and there was a lot of love for him in Tyneside, from the moment he walked onto the stage, through to the moment he waved goodbye. Early crowd pleasers included show opener It's A Miracle, I Can't Smile Without You, which came complete with sing-a-long lyrics on screen and soaring and inspiring ballad Looks Like We Make It.
