In skin-tight pants and mauve fringed shawl, Alcorn alternates between striding around the stage and reclining on a chaise longue to recount McVie’s story in wry tones and with plenty of deadpan humour. It’s a lot of fun – even for those who aren't fans of the band - and a terrific showcase for the prodigious talents of Catherine Alcorn.
Polly Simons - Stage Noise
Alcorn sings it superbly – arguably better than McVie herself. She has a rich, powerful voice, which she uses with sensitivity and skill, and a big, warm stage presence.
Jo Litson
Alcorn’s interpretation was executed flawlessly: not only were the songs performed beautifully, but she made the necessary connection with the audience to evoke emotions.
Theatre Vibe
Go Your Own Way had the audience on its feet and screaming for more.
