SUPPORTING WILL

 

There has been much discussion as to who will be supporting Will Young on the forthcoming Keep On Live Tour.

 

We're now pleased to announce that it will be Alisha's Attic's Shelly Poole and new singer-songwriter Anna Krantz.

 

Anna has a unique sound, a unique voice and every one of her songs tells a personal story.

 

 

 

She's already recorded a debut album, Precious Time With You, which was produced by Peter Van Hooke who has compared her to the legendary Carole King. You may have already heard the first single to be taken from it: Sweeter Devotion.

 

Anna has been writing, singing and playing the piano since childhood, her heroes and influences are not theatrical ones however, she's into Mary Black, Rickie Lee Jones, Joni Mitchell, James Taylor and Aretha Franklin.

 

You can already buy the first single, Sweeter Devotion while the album, Precious Time With You arrives on 4th September.

Shelly Poole

Half of sister duo, Alisha’s Attic (famed for I Am, I Feel among other classics), Shelly is also a prolific songwriter who has written a string of hit singles, won an Ivor Novello award nomination and was one of the iconic female voices featured on the Lilith Fair tour of America.

 

Most recently, she has enjoyed a series of songwriting collaborations with pop icons like Sophie Ellis Bextor, Elizabeth Fraser and Rachel Stevens.

 

Her solo work is a contemporary country-folk/rural jazz sound with an emphasis on classic song-writing in the vein of 60s and 70s Joni-esque artists.

Thanks munchkin, so we're still getting two support acts then, I'm looking forward to seeing Shelly but I know nothing about the other girl at all. 57 days to go and counting. :dance:

Awww, I was quite looking forward to seeing them BYM+M's, so long as we get plenty of Will I don't care who's on before, I'm usually like this :bounce: waiting for him to come on anyway. :lol:

I would rather do away with the support acts and have Will perform for 2 1/2 hours :P :yahoo:

 

I quite like the sound of Anna Krantz :D

Well the support acts do seem a tad 'normal' for Wil. Maybe this is him delegating. :lol: Maybe I won't spend as much time in the bar this tour but like BYM&M's I'd prefer just pure Will. :wub:

Agree TT, I usually give them a watch at least once out of politeness but this time I may not be in the bar so long :D

Think I've had too much sun. I've now moved my post to the right thread. :wacko:

I was reading Stage news paper today.in it there is an artical with the guy who runs live nation promotions.. he was talking about support acts and he said that now they have to pay to appear or agree to appear for free in order to get on stage.. :huh:

well i still think she was paid too much :ph34r:

 

Yes..but just the right amount for Will don't you think? :lol:

I know he likes to have his hand in his pocket..but its not because he pulls out any money. :D

god love him :wub:

Ah - I had a feeling that the Puppinis pulling out had to do with money. They said 'politics', but it's probably because they are popular in their own right and don't need the exposure. Shame - I was looking forward to seeing them. There was an article in one of the Sunday papers about them today.

It was the Mail on Sunday Munchkin (in one of the endless supplements) - just been reading about them. I had ITV3 on the other night and the advert for their new album came up three times in as many breaks.

When I was browsing on Amazon I noticed that the Puppini's album is at #2 in the pre-release chart & at #8 on their album chart. It's released tomorrow so it will be interesting to see where it charts.

 

I agree with munchkin that payment probably had something to do with them pulling out of Will's tour.
