There was a strict rule not to take any pictures or videos as Gary Barlow arrived on stage for the second of three shows at Newcastle’s Tyne Theatre on Tuesday.
The man who has packed out arenas on his own in recent years, as well as filling them and stadiums to the rafters as a member of Take That, is on Tyneside with his A Different Stage show, which aside from a few reviews which haven’t given too much away, has remained something of a closely guarded secret.
Going to a gig and not being able to take photos or vids seems almost absurd in this day and age but it actually felt strangely liberating as you could devote all your attention to what was going on in front of you. And my word, there was a lot to take in.
