Hey folks, just wanted to tell you about this great show. Info here.
My wife bought tickets for it at the 02 arena in London UK and gave them to me for my Birthday in 2011, so I was waiting for over a year!

I bought the album and obviously it's a remake of the Richard Burton version - but they have modernised the music a lot.
Liam Neeson does quite a good job as the journalist and Gary Barlow is actually really good as the thoughts of the Journalist.
Alex Clare was the voice of humanity (the guy who did the song Microsoft used for the IE9 advert).

Worth a watch if the show comes anywhere near you.

Also, and this is the main reason for this post.
The album is awesome to listen to while you play Oolite, goes with it really well.

I still prefer the original with Justin (Moody Blues) Hayward. He has a beautiful voice even now.

Love "Nights in White Satin", one of the first songs I learned properly on the guitar ;)
