When I first moved to England I turned on the TV and caught the music act on the Sharron Osbourne show. As soon as I heard Paolo's 'Jenny don't be hasty' I was hooked. I soon bought the album and fell in love with this guys voice and his music. I wanted to see him live but the only concerts I could find were long sold out. 
So, here I am three years later and I notice he is touring again with his new album out June 1st. Of course, London gigs were already sold out so I decided that I was going to drive to the nearest gig to me no matter what. Booked my tickets for Bristol (3 hour drive) and finally the day arrived!
What can I say? His first album was amazing but this new album is going to be awesome. He sang all of his new songs and all I can say is that each song is filled with different layers and dimensions. It is his old style but now with added bluegrass feel. The song is slow and then breaks out in new rhythms...the lyrics are incredible and the added instruments including such things as a harmonica and mandolin complete the album.
This was a very intimate gig which added to its appeal. Gorgeous curtains, laid back style, a blend of lighting, and being dead centre front.....all added to the enjoyment.
If you don't know who Paolo Nutini is...then my suggestion is, go buy his first album. You won't be disappointed!!!
