Wet Wet Wet

Grizzled and greying, Marti Pellow took to the stage like a warrior returned, Game of Thrones-like, from The Wall. And since the height of the band’s fame, Pellow has certainly fought his demons. This tour peddles the band’s recently-released greatest hits compilation and showcases their first new material in six years.

The legendary locks may long have been shorn but this is no Samsonite saga; the vocal strength remains, reinforced by the rigours of starring in musicals. For wall-to-wall hits and a jugular jolt of nostalgia, this is a show to shell out for, for sure.
