Set list same as Great Yarmouth, apart from a slightly different order – also Seasick, Disco Dancer and Crashing Bores dropped in favour of One Day Goodbye Will Be Farewell, Mama and Best Friend on the Payroll.

I posted last night to say that Moz seemed to be struggling and not fully recovered, but tonight I'm happy to report he was a different man! The whole show had 500% more kick than last night, Moz was totally on form and very chatty. Opening line, “Cambridge, here's your starter for ten, no conferring...” (then into This Charming Man). Next, “I have some very disturbing news... I'm sorry to have to break it to you, but tonight you are missing the Eurovision Song Contest. Dry those eyes!”

Handed the mic to Julia who was then nastily heckled. Moz defended Julia (“No, she's my friend”) and asked the heckler to leave... the band started the next song, Moz stopped it, went back to have another go at the heckler, asked him to leave again, then called Boz over who strode to the front of the stage, gave the heckler the finger and mouthed “Fuck off”. Clearly put Moz in a bad mood for the next ten minutes or so.

One spectacular stage invasion at the end from a young girl who put her arm around our man and left the stage peacefully.

A fantastic night, great atmosphere, great energy and Moz seemingly back on top form.

Wish you all could have been there to share it with us!

The set list gives the encore song as “If I Said You Had A Beautiful Body, Would You Hold It Against Me?” - this is no joke, no doubt someone will scan an original.

        Is it any wonder she was heckled? come on, Morrissey should not be singling her out, we all buy the records, pay to see him, its completely disrespectful to single her out. Anybody who says other wise is clearly blind. Its actually starting to piss me off, love Moz with all my heart but its not fair on us peasants :P

              To add to the comments about Julia, Morrissey said it was her birthday, which is why he handed the mic to her in the first place. She'd said something like 'It's a great way to celebrate' when the heckler waded in.

              I wonder if the they'll do 'It's not your birthday anymore' at the next show.

                Second night in a row I manage to get Morrissey's hand - the first hand shake of the night - delighted.

                Then it went downhill. Most has been said about the guy who was kicked out - it was funny to see how cool Arturto (it said on his Walkie Talkie 'Fartturo'(bit mean :-), i wouldnt say it to his face !!)) was about it - a flick of his fingers and the guy was made to leave. Boz was very menacing.

                I went over to Julia at the end - explained i didnt know her or the guy who caused the issues and apologised - someone needed too, his outburst was wrong - i hope a mere moment of madness - Julia was lovely and happy birthday to her :-)

                The band were brilliant - Chritopher P gave me the set list - its on the link below.

                Morrissey fans are fruit & nuts. It's official. There is a middle aged heckler and some poor girl who follows Morrissey everywhere. Then there are millions of internet users who start a battle over it all. calm down people, it's only show business! Mozzy is only one of the long list of British crooners & pop stars....there's been many before him. My missus was at the gig and said well this is like Billy Fury in the early 70's. There was a lot of screaming at the Billy shows.

                          Correct me if I'm wrong, but this show is the first time Moz has mentioned Julia on this tour. I thought it strange that at the shows I've seen on this tour there was no mention of Julia. Thought she sitting this one out but apparently not. Also I've known about her and her fanzine since the early 90's. Perhaps she does deserve special attention for keeping her fanzine/website alive for so long. I'm not aware of any other Moz fanzine that survived past the 90's and only Moz-solo survived as a website, but we all know why Moz isn't standing by Moz-Solo these days, don't we?
