Just after I turned 13, Mum took me to see him in concert at the Concert Hall in the Performing Arts Complex here in Brisbane. Well! It was the best thing to happen to me all year! And seeing the South East Freeway hadn't been put through yet, it took a long time to get into the city. So, I had to take half a day off school (I think) to go.
It was a great concert and he had a lovely Irish accent when he talked to the audience. The best thing about that concert in 1986 was that I got to meet him at the stage door. However, there were only about four other people there with us to meet him.
This time, the whole Concert Hall was packed. All kinds of people were there and many looked very bored; but all the same some travelled some distance to see Sir James play. He still has his lovely Belfast accent and told funny anecdotes about things; making us laugh. He also played the tin whistle as well as the golden flute. His lovely wife came out on the stage with him and played too. She and him play well together and are a great couple in music.
