Cunnie Posted November 9, 2013 Share Posted November 9, 2013 Know David Gest is not the most popular person in the world but you gotta give him credit for getting Little Anthony on these shores for the first time. Link shows where.https://www.davidgestonline.com/david-gests-legends-of-soul-live-concert/ Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

Julie Moore Posted November 9, 2013 Share Posted November 9, 2013 I hope Mr Gest doesn't suffer the same negative response to his promotion than the other pair got on this forum , but then again this one looks like a proper job. Hope so John How`s it going my friend ...........long time no see xx Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

Paul McKay Posted November 9, 2013 Share Posted November 9, 2013 I WENT TO ONE OF HIS SHOWS AT hAMMERSMITH A COUPLE OF YEARS AGO. sAID TO MYSELF I'D NEVER GO TO ONE AGAIN, BUT IT WAS THE AUDIENCE NOT THE ACTS THAT WERE THE PROBLEM. HOPEFULLY AT A BUTLINS IT WILL BE PEOPLE WHO WANT TO SEE THE ACTS RATHER THAN DAVID GEST! Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
Cunnie Posted November 9, 2013 Author Share Posted November 9, 2013 Keeping a low profile nowadays Julie, hope your fine. Just had a look on the tour dates though and there ain't much for the East midlands One of the TBA date's might be Leicester John. Not confirmed yet but it's possibly De Montfort Hall. Showing as blank dates on their site so err, watch this space as they say.... Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
KevH Posted November 9, 2013 Share Posted November 9, 2013 Seems strange to pay up to £60 to see a shaven chimp who used to piss about with Judy garland. It's a nice line up but I really don't want to waste my time listening to him name-dropping and talking crap like he did when he was in that jungle crap. if it is just the music then yes please. ,i thought i was a grumpy barsteward.!!! 1 Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
Soulman Posted November 9, 2013 Share Posted November 9, 2013 To be honest I don't mind the David Gest shows although it is very much a conveyer belt system... act one - two songs and off, act two two or three songs and off, act three etc etc. The only down side to this new show is that it is just Little Anthony without the Imperials. Now that is such a shame. Also the only Northern track you are likely to hear would be "Better Use Your Head" and I would have thought that unlikely. Just my thoughts of course Steve Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
Ian Parker Posted November 9, 2013 Share Posted November 9, 2013 David gest had the crowd in stitches at butlitz earlier this year. He dressed daft, he looked daft, but he's a clever guy with pedigree. I can't see little Anthony belting out 'better use your head'. But what a pleasure it will be just to see and hear him on stage.

Dave West Posted January 4, 2014 Share Posted January 4, 2014 I reckon you'll get Tears On My Pillow, I'm On The Outside Looking In and if you are lucky you might get Hurt So Bad and Goin' Out Of My Head. i reckon you'll get two tracks maximum . Gests last outings sang only one or two tracks each. Dave Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
Dean Posted January 4, 2014 Share Posted January 4, 2014 me too waiting I wonder if LA management are aware if the Trandy debacle? Would that offer insight into the sorry affair?

Guest JIM BARRY Posted January 4, 2014 Share Posted January 4, 2014 It wasn't Judy Garland he was knocking about with, it was her daughter Liza Minnelli. Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
Guest Invictus Posted January 4, 2014 Share Posted January 4, 2014 “Gest confirms he will bring 10 Motown and soul legends on UK-wide tour ” “Gest says: “I am thoroughly excited about my most extensive tour of the UK ” As far as I can see not a UK tour but an English and Wales tour..

AlanB Posted January 4, 2014 Share Posted January 4, 2014 (edited) As far as I can see not a UK tour but an English and Wales tour.. Scheduled for Motherwell on 16/2.

Saxafone Posted January 7, 2014 Share Posted January 7, 2014 (edited) Bognor Regis for us and if he sings Hurt so Bad that will be enough for me .... Bearsy, I'd so some checking up on that Bognor date. Don't want your ticker going all loopy again when you Marie and Hercules rock up to find it's a 90s revisited event . Although, with your collection you'd probably get a DJ spot Although shown on the tour dates, when we looked to book the soul weekender wasn't showing for Bognor on Butlin's site.................... don't think it is now either.

Have a gooden Paul - and have a Happy 65th birthday whilst you are there I did check again on the Butlin's web site and it doesn't seem to mention the soul acts, just the rather dodgy looking 80's shindig. There again if the Keith Harris geezer listed is the one with Orville, you'll have a great time.
