O2 Indigo Hall hosted the established Q The Music James Bond Concert Spectacular. In 2004 Q The Music began and became the only tribute Orchestra to perform and celebrate the music from many of the James Bond films.

David Zaritsky played host for the evenings event. Comparing the audio through the three and a half hour James Bond Musical Spectacular. Covering  a wide range of the James Bond film catalogue. The audience were also treated to two guest iconic Bond Girls, Maud Adams and Britt Ekland who gave a few secrets away from their filming days.

The orchestra performed twenty-three iconic songs from the films. Although there were a couple from a few less “massive” popular Bond films and I have you admit to actually not recognising the numbers although they were very good.

Kerry Schultz performed the majority of the vocal solo and duets. Personally, her most moving performance was the iconic Tina Turner song Goldeneye from the 1095 film of the same name. I feel you cannot beat the emotions evoked by anything that the late legendary artist sang.

Throughout the entire concert, the drummer Lee Aaron’s performance constantly stood out. He was “driving” the orchestra from the start of the concert and his energy and stamina never faltered.

Director Warren Ringham and singer Matt Walker adorned specialist dark blue tuxedo suits made by Anthony Sinclair who was the original James Bond tailor and creator of the iconic conduit cut. The suits were made especially for the pair for the celebratory concert. Apparently, it felt so comfortable that it was like wearing “a tracksuit” although I can assure you it looked nothing like one.

The event saw many of the men in the audience attending in their best black tuxedos and a couple wore flattering white tuxedos. The time and effort these audience members took with their appearance gave an additional suave vibe to the evening.
