Five years ago my friend, who's a big A-ha fan, sadly had to miss their farewell tour due to a family illness. Therefore, when I told her of their comeback tour, she jumped at the chance to join me for tonight's trip to Birmingham's Barclaycard Arena (NIA). I also took the opportunity to introduce her to the Handmade Burger Co. and I'm glad to report she was another satisfied customer.
A-ha's support was provided by the very talented Anneli Drecker. A Norwegian singer/actress who has worked with Royksopp as well as A-ha, she has a fantastic voice and with her band played a variety of good music.
Then A-ha took to the stage for a couple of hours of great entertainment. They played many old favourites as well as a sample of songs from their recent Cast in Steel CD. My sole complaint is that they omitted my personal favourite - Manhattan Skyline. Didn't detract from a great evening though.
