I’ve seen
the Albert hall on tv with the Prom nights and for Adele’s triumphant concert
there in 2011, and I never imagined myself
going to a concert there. It
feels
very strange to be in such an iconic venue.
I
took in the images on the walls – in particular one memorable image of
Frank
Sinatra as he waved to his enthralled audience, taken from the stage by
photographer David Redfern, I was in
awe!. I will never forget ascending the
narrow steps that entered the arena the theatre’s red and gold lights shimmered
above us, where there were the shadow outlines of people on the tiered circle
galleries as spotlights hovered and I feel I have now entered a realm of
fantasy, folklore, mystique and hidden memories..the knowing that dreams
can come true and Sande’s songs of hope.
