Alex James Britpop Classical went off! The Blur bassist himself at the helm of an awesome night of nostalgia, big singalongs, spine tingling moments (the orchestra's rendition of Bittersweet Symphony as the lasers came up 😯 ), special guest appearances from Phil Daniels, Gary Stringer and Simon Fowler. Plus one of our absolute faves Becca - aka - playing a storming warm-up set to a near full Big Top. Were you with us?
