On the 12th January I went to the O2 arena to watch Paolo Nutini. It was a fantastic night and he was really good live. I ended up going to this gig as my best friend at uni bought tickets with another friend and her boyfriend back in the summer, the couple then decided not to go and so I was offered a ticket. And I am so glad I bought it!
I was lucky as the gig was originally supposed to be in October and I had not listened to any of Paolo's albums fully. I know his hits and really like him but had never got around to listening to his albums. I know for a lot of people this is not a big deal but I take my gigs very seriously and do what I call 'gig revision'. Gig revision involves listening to all albums released by an artist and learning all the words, if the setlist is available online and I don't have much time I will just learn the setlist. Personally I enjoy gigs the most when I can sing throughout the entire thing. So as I said I was lucky as the gig ended up being postponed from October to January as Paolo had tonsillitis. Boo for him, yay for me. I made a YouTube playlist of his setlist and learnt the majority of the songs before I went and had a very good time.
As a side note on the way home my friend Libby got stuck at the ticket barriers when we got to Waterloo and the train attendant made her do her 'best disco move' in order to get through the barrier. It was hilarious. Luckily I caught it on film. I love having random memories like that. :)
Ciao for now...
