Show was good and well performed.
Would have benefited from a little less chat and a couple more songs, perhaps a medley would work?
Backing a little loud, best number was when only keyboard used.
Audience asked to vote at one point re which song will be performed, all this does is disappoint some of the audience.

A great show that combines Joel’s life story with some of his greatest hits. Angus Munro is excellent and a very talented musician. The standing ovation was well deserved. I only wish the show was longer than 50 minutes.

A wonderfully performed show! (My wife chose as I’m not particularly a fan of BJoel, but wow you have to love the performers energy and talent. I loved it and was a highlight of the festival for me. (Well done….. you think night owl could do a tribute to van Morrison?)

For me, this was spoilt by the fact that the music was so loud, you could hardly hear the vocalist.

I wanted to see this show last year, but could not get a ticket. I am so glad that I was able to see it early in this year's run. The standard of musicianship was great, the stories behind the songs was very interesting and Angus was a very good Billy. Very entertaining evening and I would recommend any Billy Joel fans to get their hands on a ticket.
