Tom Walker was absolutely outstanding. His show began with support from Persia Holder – we definitely made the correct decision by getting there early. Persia was on fire, an artiste that I’ve never heard of before but is definitely going to be a huge name in the future. One to keep an eye out for.

Toms's set was banger after banger, all of the songs had an emotional feeling to them, with very relevant lyrics and heartwarming subjects. Tom made his show extra special with the intimate audience by telling some stories about his past and how the songs were relevant to the stories.

His voice is absolutely impeccable, accompanied by his band, the sound gave the whole crowd goosebumps whilst singing back his classics. All in all a fantastic gig, with a brilliant crowd.

James Morrison packed an absolute punch.

For the most part, everyone was up on their feet, dancing along to James’ upbeat, lively songs. With James’ crowd interaction and clever lyrics, he had the crowd singing along to all of his songs.

A mix of ages and couples were at the show, with everyone enjoying what they saw.

James played some slower songs too, where the crowd was seated but still singing along to most of his clever lyrics.

The sound of the band and James was impeccable. An outstanding performance with great lighting effects too.

James and his team put on a proper show and it was clear from the faces of the crowd that everyone enjoyed what his did and how he mastered the stage with his humble, yet cocky appearance.

All in, out out quoing was amazing! Lighting, sound, performance, the lot!

The energy from all of the band was absolute perfection to see at such a later time in their career, they’ve definitely not lost their buzz.

Having everyone up on their feet from the first song to the very last shows how well Status Quo still to this day perform!

Rossi is not challenged in a single way with his outstanding vocals and stage presence along with the other members of the band putting on an amazing show!

It’s great to see some younger faces too at a gig generally targeted at the 40+ market. What a great feeling it is to see the work of Status Quo traveling through generations, as it rightly should!

Not a single mess up on a single song! Status Quo are still performing at a 10/10!

What a show!

Opening the show with Last Night on Earth, explaining to her crowd, with passionate words about the reason she’d written this song was because of the pandemic and how this could literally be the audiences last night on earth, so we should enjoy every minute and live life as it comes.

An inspirational message accompanied by a meaningful performance. Followed by Gold and Crybaby, with amazing stage lighting and a powerful curtain drop.Playing some of her new album broke up the evening, yet kept the crowd waiting for the more popular songs like “Picking up the Pieces” and “Can’t rely on you”…But… before these, an amazing medley performance of her most popular songs, “Stone Cold Sober, Stargazer, Upside Down, 30 Minute Love Affair and New York” with lighting and effects to make the performance more engaging. Paloma’s voice accompanied by her wonderful band sounded great together.

Playing their music to both younger and older crowds, engaging with the audience in her unique, funny persona added to the night.Paloma explained about performing at at festival where Chaka Khan invited her on stage to perform, yet Paloma didn’t know the words on the night… yet tonight Paloma knew every word and surprised us with “I’m Every Woman” – “a performance for all the strong women in the audience”.Keeping the audience excited with her upbeat performance of “Changing” a more clubby’ vibe had us all out of our seats once again.

Paloma played her last song “If this is Goodbye”, a very fitting song for a final performance, although Paloma’s humour let the news slip that this wouldn’t be her last song… she came back on to the stage.Playing “Better Than This”, “Lullaby” and ending on the one and only “Only Love Can Hurt Like This” a great ending to a wonderful night, showing off her powerful voice and her phenomenal band members. What a great night.

Hearing that the Libertines were coming to Manchester was exciting enough. Being there was a different matter, in the hustle and bustle of the crowds, yet everyone was so friendly. Victoria Warehouse itself is loud, yet works really well with low ceilings, making the gig feel pretty intimate.

We arrived a little early to make sure we got to hear Trampoline perform beforehand, greeting us with a brilliant intro, their punchy sound, and fantastic interaction with the crowd.

Around 9:30, the lights went down, the room went quiet, and out came a motivational speaker to introduce the band. Carl Barât and Pete Doherty’s presence wowed the crowd, the lights started to scan the crowds and the iconic sound of The Libertines was biblical. The full gig continued as well as the first track right from The Delaney, to the ending with Time for Heroes.

The band exited the stage, leaving everyone thrilled with what they’d just heard. As the crowds turn towards the exit, the band re-enters the stage, playing the first note to Music When the Lights Go Out. Such a buzz in the room as the encore began… playing yet more songs, ending on the well-known What a Waster.
