There must be something extra special about the name "Jeff"...
Last night I finally gave in and went to see The War Of The Worlds live on stage. The original and 'new generation' albums are essential listening. What I saw - and heard - last night was incredible. If you've have the opportunity to see it, you'll know what I mean.
The album, and show, are a close-knit, almost family, affair. It's not just Jeff Wayne's family that have been and still are involved, but musicians on the original album from 40 years ago are still playing their part. They may be in their 'twilight' years, but boy, can they play! The guitarists in question - Herbie Flowers and Chris Spedding.
Cast... Journalist and narrator, Liam Neeson. Not there in person, but in film. Neatly interacting with other cast members. The Artilleryman was Adam Garcia. My favourite of the whole bunch, to be honest. Jason Donovan was the parson. Jeff's daughter played the journalist's wife, Carrie.
The singing thoughts of the journalist were provided by Newton Faulkner. While he sang Forever Autumn, leaves fell from the ceiling. Simple, but very effective.
A very good night was had by all.

, but we're OK. 
Apparently it's quite hard to see them with the naked eye, you need to be looking through a camera or other type of lens?
