 To start off, what a LAD. Yes, lad. A lot of interaction with the audience, stories were told, laughs all around, tears were shed; what a beautiful performance given by Passenger AKA Mike Rosenberg. After hearing 'Let Her Go' months before, I could not let go (you should be used to my punniness) of Mr Rosenberg's sold out homecoming gig. Most songs created a pin drop silence, captivating every single person in the room. No backing track used, no backing track required honestly; him and his guitar was enough. Incredible voice and extremely talented musician.

Support Acts
Stu Larsen - Talented man, Passenger's friend and an Aussie!

Bonus: Passenger covered my all-time favourite song: Sound of Silence- Simon & Garfunkel and it was mesmerising.

The Blue Pursuit - Demo

Young talented indie band 'The Blue Pursuit',  from Surrey, are just another step ahead in pursuing their dreams. (aha, punny).  At the age of around 16-17, the 1D haired boys have self-produced their first demo and are playing small venue gigs around their local area generating an already a decent sized fan base. Overall, the demo, consists of 5 tracks. They describe themselves as being hugely influenced by the likes of Eric Clapton and The Black Keys which is portrayed through their tracks. Though, there is an unexpected reggae feel to the teenagers.  Tracks such as 'Downtown' are also incredibly catchy. For their first demo, The Blue Pursuit have succeeded. Though I'm expecting much more from these guys next time.
