Was a bit funny as Newport's not the most 'cultured' of places and hardly anyone knew who he was but knew the songs. Was a good night that, can't remember the end of it though.
I also saw him in a local nightclub singing to backing tapes! I saw George McCrae like that too in the early 90's. That was a real surprise as I didn't know he was on! I heard the DJ mention his name and I thought he was gonna play Rock Your Baby or something, but no the man himself then walked on...
