Over time, I have come to appreciate concert/gig going; the loud music, shoving, jumping and the all round craziness of the affair. Besides, the adrenaline, my favourite thing about going to see musicians live? The supporting acts!
A lot of the time when I go to concerts, the opening acts are pretty awful (well, I guess they are there to get you excited for the main act.) but once in a while you come across some, who are actually entertaining. Bluey Robinson; the opening act for Lloyd's UK tour was just that.
The 22year old Swede (I still don't believe he's 22!!) took to the stage with his guitarist & the crowds reaction said it all. {Goshing, Screaming and Wowing} Granted the audience consisted mainly of teenage girls.
Note to Self: Never go to an R&B concert on a Friday or Saturday. Or maybe ever.
I wasn't expecting much from him musically, but then he started to sing! And he went from the pretty boy on stage to a singer. I maybe partial to him because of his song choices, he did a few covers which included Fresh Prince of Bel Air and Whitney Houston's 'Your love is my love' (two of my top ten songs)
The boy has great stage presence and much to offer vocally, I can't wait to see what he does musically (
especially with lyrics - they are make or break for me). So there is a brief intro to Bluey Robinson.
