Titz Towers, North Notts

Bat out of hell is good, if lengthy.

Peter Kaye was once compering a Stars in their eyes type gig and one of the artists was a Meatloaf impersonator.

They started the intro, 90 seconds of it and the fellow appeared, starts singing. No sound. The microphone was shot. They replaced it and tried again. Another 90 seconds. Same thing. 3rd time, the crowd were getting restless. This time he starts singing and there was sound. Unfortunately, he sounded nothing like Meatloaf and to a man, the audience shrugged and went back to their beer and conversations.

As much as I shouldn't admit it, it's a guilty pleasure:

I bloody love the intro to "Love On Top" by Beyoncé.

But my favourites have to be "Boxes" by Charlie Winston and "Dust Bowl Dance" by Mumford & Sons.
