You can spend as much time in Cargo or the Old Blue Last as you like but let's all be honest with ourselves, this video of Il Divo doing 'The Power Of Love' to an audience of raving pen­sion­ers is what gigs should ALL be like.

It's funny, isn't it, how 'The Power Of Love' (now a single for a band signed to Simon Cowell's label) keeps appearing, sung by 'punters', in those Carphone Warehouse ads during X Factor.
