What a wicked night! Ian Brown came on at 9pm and rocked the small and intimate venue with new and old songs alike. It was just a shame that the set didn't last longer-still it was free so can't really complain!!

This was the event that money simply could not buy. Album launch however it was more like a greatest hits set with Fools Gold & F.E.A.R. Of the 3/4 new album songs, they do sit well with the rest of Brown's hits.

I consider myslef most fortunate to have attended this gig, i was literally 2 people away from being at the front.
Ian Brown was his usual charasmatic self, blowing us away with his sing along tunes including the unforgettable anthem F.E.A.R and the Stone Roses classic Fools Gold.
Everything about the night was quality, from having the toilets right next to the stage and being able to get a drink straight away at the bar.
I dont think i will ever get the chance to see such a top class performer in such an intimate venue.
When leaving, Ian Brown thanked all the vibrant crowd but in truth it should of been us thanking him for such an energetic performance and of course we should be thanking HMV and Ticketmaster for giving us this opportunity.
Well done everyone concerned.

After listening to Ian Brown's latest album 'My Way' I was already prepared for a great gig however the gig surpassed all expectations.
Opening with the latest single release, playing some of his classics along with a Stone Roses number and an excellent Beatles cover made for an amazing gig.
Great venue, perfect for the launch of the latest album!

I was shocked and excited to see an email in my inbox entitled 'congratulations' only the day after I had pre-ordered the new album of the former Stone Rose, Ian Brown. So I printed out my free tickets and looked forward for the next week with wild expectation. You see I had never won tickets before or seen Ian Brown live; I was fairly familiar with his solo stuff from his greatest hists and awaiting his new album with mild anticipation.

Before we get too far into this review for those of you who love Ian Brown and his solo stuff and cant bear to read a bad word about the man, maybe you should skip this one.

Cos that is exactly as I see the man, a former Stone Rose, lucky enough to be in one of the most influential groups of our time, having worked with with one of the most awesome guitarists and song-writers (Squire) and an equally good or better producer (Leckie).
And dont get me wrong The Stone Roses and in particular the self-titled debut album that this year celebrates a remaster edition, twently years after its release in 1989; are both amazing feats.
But no one can rest on their laurels that long, and Ian Brown hasnt tried to.

Now on his sixth solo studio album Ian Brown has relased his gretest hits and looks to build on it. This new album 'My Way' hasnt recieved the best reviews to put it politely, and for the most part I can hear why. It sounds the same as his last one. And the one before that.... etc. etc.

Now that is out the way, back to the gig, and good news; he didint only play stuff from his new album! In fact he didnt really play much with the whole gig lasting only 40 minutes! And this time was with him playing the new single 'Stellify' twice! In fact he must have only performed ten songs at most and two of them were stellify, one was a horrible cover of 'All you need is love' by the Beatles and a welcome rendition of 'Fools Gold'. All this with a great performance of one of his better tracks 'F.E.A.R.' in the middle of it made for an enjoyable show. I am glad I had the privelage of seeing such a legend in such a venue, thank you HMV and thank you Polydor.

Im just not sure now Im gona go to Brixton Academy in December! Anyone want a ticket?

As always, an absolute AMAZING performance by the god like genius himself .
Ians vocals were on tip-top form and the band played a blinder of a set. The crowd was so intimate and small that we could stand right at the front. What a night to remember!!! Just bought tickets to see him again in December. Can't wait!

Last night I was lucky enough to attend the album launch of this countrys finest lyricist Ian Browns new album My Way at the intimate but impressive relentless garage, London, I have seen Mr Brown many times and always marvel at the euphoric mood created by His presence, An in form Ian accompanied by His incredible musicians treated us to a wide range of great tracks that have been the themetune to Mine and many others lives, it was a pleasure to be in the presence of the nations greatest poet of a generation .

we travelled from manchester to london to see the gig, it was a great venue, sound was quality and very imtimate, however ian brown was only on stage for 50 mins, now i know this was a free gig, but it cost me a fortune in travelling and hotels, i do not regret going at all and i am very grateful to hmv!

It was a blinder of a gig. Great new track Stellify, with all of his other timeless classics.... with a new supprise cover to boot. Who else would make 'All you need is Love', by The Beatles sound even better than the original with all the characteristic twists and uniqueness that he brings to all of the covers he has done.

One of the biggest and most influential singers in such a small venue was guaranteed to be a good night and I was certainly not disappointed. Ian has a cool stage presence and was interactive with the crowd of enthusiastic fans. Good, clear sound system and being a more intimate venue had a pretty good view too.
It was a great set consisting of tracks from all of his albums a Stone Roses classic- the place went crazy when the opening notes of "Fools Gold" began- and even a cover of The Beatles' "All you need is Love". The gig finished with a second performance of the new single, "Stellify". Ian's voice was on top form and the band sounded great-I'm glad I was one of the lucky competition winners

The Relentless Garage is typical of a lot of new venues...soulless. Theses people don't seem to know how to put together a good live music venue. The sound for the DJ before Ian Brown was so low you could hardly make out the tracks sometimes. The DJ was playing some great stuff but you could hardly hear it! When Ian Brown came on the sound was awful. The engineer managed to improve it as the gig went on but he far from nailed it. The sound for the band was also far too quiet. Ian & the bands deliver was ok. 'Fools Gold' was a lovely suprise but then we were given a hilariously bad rendition of 'All You Need Is Love'. 'Stelify' appeared for the second time & then it was all over! We were out of there & it wasn't even 10pm! Free gig but still felt short changed.

This was a brilliant gig. Ian Brown came on stage and had the audience in the palm of his hand.
My only sorrow was that he did not play longer than an hour and he did not return for an encore despite the audience clearly wanting this.
