"All that shit isn't actually in the song by the way..." Jamie Moses opens the gig with his acoustic request set.

"Unfortunately, we didn't know we were going to be playing a double-length set until this morning..." - Spike Edney gets things going.

Chris Thompson with the backing singers, The Fabba Girls

"You've heard this one before!" - Leo Sayer

"Southern England in August and Scottish clouds, the perfect combination" - Fish, the insane Scotsman.

"Do you know any Queen songs?" - Mark Shaw urges us to tie our mothers down.

"You are the dancing Queen, young and sweet..." - The Fabba Girls in their funky Abba outfits

"This is a song I'll still be asked to do when I'm 70 and drawing my pension" - Tony Hadley goes through the barricades.

"It's nice to be back in Gosport again - anybody remember The Cross?" - Roger Taylor, over the heads of the crowd

"Yeah, sing along!" - Roger sings, we shout tunelessly.
