Hi, I want to send you a story about Dean Barton's 'Tribute to Smokie'

concert that I saw in Yorkshire two weeks ago.

Best wishes,

I'm a big Smokiefan for life and I was happy to travel to "Smokie

country" West Yorkshire on this holiday. Imagine how excited I was to

see "Dean Barton's Smokie Tribute" concert advertising in one pub!

Sure, I went there because I am always happy to hear Smokie's music,

and I know Dean is the eldest son of Alan Barton who was a Smokie

singer!! I was so very curious about this show!

When I came there, the big pub was full, there was a big crowd and no

empty place. I expected to see a wonderful show but what I saw was

above all of my expectations!! Dean is a great singer, his voice is

very very close to Alan Barton's but (I hope Alan will forgive me for

saying this!!) much stronger, deeper and more rich. Also, Dean is a

great performer, his stage show is really super, he's got stage grace,

he can dance. What is much more important, he controls the whole

audience, he makes people hypnotised and truly enjoying themselves!

Everyone in the pub had the impression he sings just for them and

talks to them personally with all of his nice jokes. I couldn't take

my eyes off him during the concert, I was afraid to miss anything or

to miss his so lovely shining smile. :) It's seen that he truly loves

Smokie's classic hits and he can perform them top class. I'm very

proud to know that "the Smokie family" has such great followers who

pay their sincere tributes to Smokie's music! I want to thank Smokie

for their music and Dean for his great concert I was lucky to see! The

audience was with him with all of their soul, they were laughing and

crying together with him, clapping and dancing as one. I met one girl

smoking outside and noticed she was barefoot. I said it wasn't like

British, she laughed and told me that she's not British, she came to see this

concert from another far away country! She showed me her small bleeding feet

and said that she wore high heel tight shoes but still couldn't keep away

from too much dancing! :) We went inside and had a drink on Smokie's

music together, and I want to share this drink with all of their fans

now! Cheers!

Annie
