Firstly I must say that the venue was beautiful, the stage was a decent size, and although there were barriers the spacing was decent. The staff were excellent at queue control and everyone was let in and stayed in an orderly fashion. The sound balance and volume was brilliant. Now on to the interesting stuff!
The Gayblades opened with a lively set, and although unknown to many the lead singer was charismatic and worked the stage well, and I can't believe their sound only came from two people, a drummer and a guitarist, amazing! I was very impressed considering I hadn't heard any of their materiel.
Jack's Mannequin came onto the stage after a short wait, Andrew said a few words about how he loved London and was glad to be here, before opening with a rousing performance of Spinning off of their latest album The Glass Passenger. Jack's Mannequin perform so well together, making each song special and unique, adding a twist to each beloved song that only improves and enhances hearing them played live, something obviously picked up from relentless touring. I can honestly say I enjoyed every moment of this concert, and the show lasted a generous amount of time with an encore featuring special performances of fan favourites.
After the show, Andrew came out to personally meet every fan who waited there, and I felt so honoured that one of my idols took the time out to thank me for coming to such an amazing show!
This was pretty much a perfect evening.
