Here's the background and I've also sent it to Lily for further processing.

Lily, That stage decoration used in Let's Dance is actually a montage of post-coloured photographs of guitars on a blue background painted by Chris. I love that, too. There's a good full-page print of it in the tourbook so I can photograph and send it to you via email if you like. Yours truly, Chris

I had some spare time so here are the articles, enjoy: Chris Rea: I’m incurable! Chris Rea has been seriously ill for years and tolerates his illness more and more badly. Before yesterday’s concert, the singer admitted in his interview given to our paper Pepper he would never be cured. He, however, ...

Hey everybody, I finally found some pics of the Budapest concert, so here they are: http://www.zene.hu/image/article/galery/.640x480/33093.jpg http://www.zene.hu/image/article/galery/.640x480/33095.jpg http://www.zene.hu/image/article/galery/.640x480/33096.jpg http://www.zene.hu/image/article/galery...

I'm really happy you enjoyed it. :) Yes Chris, they did the same setlist, without 'Fool' :( But I can say this is because 'not even think of it as it's over and we don't say goodbye' :D Unfortunately cameras are all banned in the Arena so we only could make some not-so-good pictures with our cells, ...

Hey everybody, I've just got home and I feel like I have to share my experiences and memories of tonight's fantastic show! First of all I have to tell you I was in the Farewell concert two years ago; that time I knew nothing about Blue Guitars since it came to the local stores only a few days before...

I think it's a question most of us have been wondering since last November when news came of the HBN album and tour. Let's see... In the booklet and the documentary of The Road to Hell and Back Chris says two things: 'Is this really your final tour? Well it depends on how successful is it.' 'You can...

Lily, I don't want to exasparate you but unfortunately it's unlikely Chris goes to the U.S. :( According to his interview on britsound (printed in the Farewell Tourbook) he'd only had three gigs in America but let Chris tell you about this: :) CR: I've only ever done three concerts in the whole of A...

Well, I think there's no one in this 'gathering' called Chris Rea fans who doesn't like Josephine... :) It's one of my favourites, too, but I have to disagree; I found the Shamrock-version a bit disco, I prefer the New Light (actually: radio) version. But I remember when Chris started to play the so...

Thank you, Lily! I'm happy you liked it.

Chris

I agree the others, it's a question very hard to answer... If we put Blue Guitars away (because all the songs are perfect and beloved) I can make a list of recently listened favourite songs: -Let's Dance (all-time favourite, especially the live version) -The Road to Hell (in a whole) -Windy Town -St...

Well, besides Chris I listen to: -Joe Cocker; one of blues' viceroys - I saw him in concert,too, awesome experience. His new album Hymn 4 My Soul beats the clock! -Eric Clapton; pioneer of blues, just can't get round him -Bryan Adams; daredevil of rock - I saw him twice and can't get enough -Bruce S...

Hey everyone, The capacity of Budapest Sport Arena is maximum 12,500 but on March 3 the 'little' seated-standed layout will be used, without the top seating sectors, that means 8,000 people. (!) The Farewell concert was held there, too, and it was almost sold out. Anyway, I just can't wait to see Ch...
