Bryan Ferry
The Sage, Gateshead

Bryan Ferry rocked The Sage last weekend with a fabulous two and a half hour show.
There wasn't a conventional support act. Instead, the Bryan Ferry Orchestra (who were responsible for the soundtrack to
The Great Gatsby movie) took to the stage and played 20 minutes of material from their own repertoire, including jazz versions of
Do The Strand and
Avalon.
Bryan Ferry took to the stage the evening really kicked into top gear.
The sold-out Sage soon saw its audience rise to their feet as Bryan Ferry took us on a journey through his various musical eras, from slower numbers such as
Smoke Gets In Your Eyes, classic covers including
Jealous Guy and, of course, a spin through some of the finest moments from Roxy Music, such as
Street Life,
Love Is The Drug and
Let's Stick Together.
We had jazz age art deco and we had Charleston-style dancers. It all added to the evening, creating a satisfying fusion of old and modern genres, spanning almost 100 years. Bryan Ferry even found time between posing and strutting to blast out a few tunes on his harmonica and to show his style on the keyboards on a couple of numbers.
It was a very memorable evening. Here's a few more photos to finish with, starting with the wonderful dancers.
