Alexander O'Neal on stage at the Spa Soul Legend has fans wiping his brow in Felixstowe!By Mervin Henry Alexander O'Neal brought his latest show to the Spa Pavilion. Support came from Nat Augustin and his tribute to George Benson. The main act climaxed with around 50 ladeez from the audience up on stage to share the lurve.  Nat Augustin The night started with support artist Nat Augustin who came on stage playing and sounding like the famous jazz and soul legend George Benson. He had everyone out of their seats, performing songs such as Love x Love, Give Me the Night and Turn Your Love Around. Everyone was singing along to the timeless classics. Nat was with Light of The World in the 1980s and has toured with Alexander O'Neal for three years. He was the best support I have seen in a while - a class act.  Alexander O'Neal with three lucky fans Showtime - soul legend Alexander O'Neal went down a storm with hundreds turning out to see him perform his greatest hits. As the lights went down, the band kicked in and everyone waited for the appearance of the man himself, then suddenly, large as life, Alexander O'Neal took to the stage and the crowd were on their feet, clapping and shouting out to the soul legend as he sang Criticise.  Mervyn Henry gets a Vulcan death grip The party had started and in full voice he walked across the stage as women at the front were wiping his brow. At times he sounded a little out of breath, but he kept the crowd entertained performing more great classics. Alexander O'Neal is known for the bed on stage but this is now replaced by two stools and a bottle of champagne. A lucky lady was chosen to join him as he sang If You Were Here Tonight. Just one thing was missing, there was no encore, but he is still a geat entertainer. You can listen to Mervin Henry's interview with Alexander O'Neal here....
