The second of the Pollensa Festival concerts and a bit of a break from the normal classical performances. Roger Hodgson as most of you know was the writer and voice of Supertramp throughout their glory years. Since parting company with the other members he has pursued a very successful solo career, performing not only the Supertramp music that we all know and love but also a lot of new material. He was joined on stage by just one person, Aaron MacDonald, but such is the nature of this music megastar it seemed that there was a complete band with them. Rogers talent on keyboards and guitar were astounding, making you fully appreciate what a talent this guy is. When performing all those great songs, Dreamer, The Logical Song, Give a little bit as well as more recent songs including the great Lovers in the wind you were listening to the same voice of 30 years ago.
But to really cap the whole show of, young Aaron also showed that he was no music stoolie, just there to make up the numbers. He too had an enormous amount of talent, playing sax, keyboard and various other instruments to add to the whole effect. This was an exceptional concert in the most beautiful surroundings of The Claustre de Sant Domingo in Pollensa and one that will not be forgotten in a hurry!
