Kevin Simm (ex The Voice and Liberty X) has a really good voice so would personally opt to see him in the Limelight. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lucysnan Posted September 8, 2023 #3 Share Posted September 8, 2023 Kevin Simm is lead singer in Wet Wet Wet, replacing Marti Pellow, we saw him on board Britannia in July and it was an excellent show. He has a great singing voice and is definitely worth seeing. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We are on the cruise before you and have Tom Lister, whom I haven't heard of! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was Carl King in Emmerdale... Can't remember who killed him, Chas maybe? Apparently big in musical theatre. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gardenseat Posted September 8, 2023 #7 Share Posted September 8, 2023 Saw Andy Abraham in April. I had not heard of him, but always enjoy a night in the Limelight Club. The four of us were all impressed. He covered a range of Nat King Cole songs along with a Motown/Soul mix. Andy has a good voice for that music. This was interspersed with interesting chat. We would recommend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GSPG Posted September 8, 2023 #8 Share Posted September 8, 2023 As the meal is part of the experience, I would just say the three meals I have had in Limelight Clubs on P&O have all been rank. Obviously just my experience though and the three acts were very good, thankfully! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ginb56 Posted September 9, 2023 #9 Share Posted September 9, 2023 On Britannia at the mo and going to see Andy Abraham in Limelight tomorrow night. La Voix was amazing last week! When we’d done Limelight in the past, tables were allocated according to when you booked, so early online bookers got the better tables. Now it’s first come first served, so queues build up well before 7pm to try and get the better view. Also we noticed tables at La Voix were now on the dance floor area too, so a much smaller area left for any dancing but closer view for some to the stage I guess. Not sure if that’s the norm now to fit in as many people as possible or just for the most popular artistes. We always enjoy Limelight anyway 😀. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BestGuessed Posted September 9, 2023 #10 Share Posted September 9, 2023 We saw Andy Abraham in The Limelight Club a couple of years ago and we thought he was phenomenal. Lovely chap with a great voice and he was singing classic songs of the genre Gardenseat mentioned above. We loved it so much we went to watch the whole show again two nights later!! The pianist was amazing too. Wouldn’t hesitate to go again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I read elsewhere that they were reverting back to the old system of seats being allocated at time of booking? Let's hope it's in the pipeline... Enjoy the rest of your cruise.

As good as any I've had anywhere. And can remember saying to my wife that the dessert was better than the night before in Epicurean It was really good. That's last February on Arvia 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even the ones they don't expect to enjoy They wouldn't be booked to perform there tbh if they weren't good quality. And certainly wouldnt be asked back on board for a second time if they didn't get rated highly by guests on the first time Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
