The distinctive sounds of The Zombies rose from the grave at The Old Market with two of its founding fathers.
The group, which split up in 1967 after a series of worldwide hits, owe their success to the breathy voice of Colin Blunstone and the jazz-tinged keyboard playing of Rod Argent.
Forty years on, after solo careers took them down different paths, they are touring again as Colin Blunstone and Rod Argent of The Zombies.
They and other members of the new Zombies are a polished act. Colin Blunstone looked uneasy on stage, as if apologising for still being around on the musical scene.
He proved he is still an artist who can send tingles down your spine with numbers such as Misty Roses and I Don't Believe In Miracles.
I would have liked to have heard more of his ballads but just as many people came to see the more rock-orientated Rod, who had hits with his own band, Argent, as they did to hear Colin.
It was great to see Colin and Rod on stage combining ballad and rock, ensuring the sounds of The Zombies live on.
