I was very lucky last night to get a chance to go and see Brian Wilson play a concert in the rather lovely surroundings of Hampton Court.
What a fantastic night. The weather was obviously excellent, and it was a shame that we didn’t bring a picnic like just about everyone else.
The concert itself began at 9pm and was basically back to back Beach Boys hits. I can’t begin to tell you how much fun I had singing along to just about every song for two hours.
The audience was, erm, slightly different to your usual crowd, and the Waitrose sponsorship of the event meant that it was all very different to what you’re used to. It reminded me of picnics in the park in Bath at the end of the Bath Festival. And the clientele there meant that the train journey was especially empty on the way back.
All in all a wonderful concert and I’ll being humming Beach Boys hits for some time to come.
