Sunday your vids as always are brilliant.

 

Love the crowd shots during Jealousy. :cheer:

Wonder how your new friends in the queue enjoyed Will, Ros?

 

I wish I had seen them afterwards TT, I bet they were impressed despite being there for a nice picnic! :lol: I wondered if their daughter was the fan.

 

 

Just love this.

 

Shows it just ain't the diehards that adore Will. I thought his voice was amazing on Saturday but actually sounds even better from further back on this video. :yahoo:

 

Those who make excuses for their favs not being able to perform pitch perfect outdoors need to watch this.

 

 

 

Thanks to Sue for the find.

 

 

 

Just spotted this great review:

Gig Review: Will Young - Kew the Music ✭✭✭✭✭

Kew the Music

 

Saturday 7th July: A typically rain soaked British Summer's evening didn't spoil my enjoyment of this quite frankly brilliant concert in the settings of Kew Gardens.

 

Nerina Pallot was special guest for the evening, doing a lovely set on guitar and piano with her wonderful vocals soaring over the drenched audience. With a 3 piece band on guitars, drums and bass, the audience were loving every minute of it, with songs such as Put Your Hands Up and Butterfly particular favourites.

 

A short break afterwards to change the backline, and it was time for the very impressive Will Young. It doesn't seem like 10 years ago since he won the first Pop Idol, and since then he has become a multi-platinum superstar. And quite rightly so.

 

Will has a great rapport with the crowd, making sure he is seen by all, standing on speakers either side of the stage, jumping down off the stage with the cameras, and even hoping to get out into the arena to see those at the back! Backed by a full band of drums, 2 keyboard players, bass, guitar and 3 backing vocals, the sound was immense, raw and punchy.

 

With hit after hit being belted out in the rain, Will's voice was the the best I have heard it yet. Changes, Your Game, Leave Right Now and Light My Fire proving to be huge crowd pleasers, and I loved every minute of it.

 

There were lots of clothes hung up as a backdrop, of which Will went up some metal stairs to go and pick some off and change his shirt in view of the audience, delighting his myriad of fans... he even started throwing out hit suit jacket into the crowd.

 

Will is a fantastic entertainer, his songs are great to listen to and sing along to, and the setting of Kew The Music makes it even more special. One of the best gigs so far this Summer.

That's what I said the other day TT - the rain didn't affect his performance at all.

Wow! Was hoping any review would reflect the concert I was at. :yahoo:

 

Thanks munchkin. Certainly one to print off and keep.

A Canadian fan has posted this on Will's FB: :wub:

Will, your concert at Kew Gardens was phenomenal! I had never seen you perform live before, other than in Youtube videos! I was holding up a Canadian umbrella for a little while until your show started, but you spotted me with the "camera-click" notion during "You and I" and I got all smitten. I look forward to attending another show of yours once I get back to England some day!

Just watched your Evergreen vid Sunday.

 

The crowd. :w00t: :wub:

Needed a replacement after chucking his lovely jacket. :lol:

Much as I love Will, I don't envy them being there in such awful weather. :blink: Maybe in the stand would be more protected against the elements.

@will_young31 Fantastic Night at Epsom Race Course you were brilliant. What's a bit of rain! Didn't effect your performance true pro.

In the words of Kelly Rowland, @will_young31 "Shut the building down!" tonight... #awesome

Thanks munchkin. :D Brilliant to see so many positive tweets. From the pic he looks as if he's been to the nearest dustbin to get replacements. A dishevelled Will. :lol: And personally I wish he'd now shave that moustache and beard off, or just have stubble. For me it's a big :no:

I prefer him clean shaven too but I don't mind if he doesn't shave for a while and let's be honest, it's only because we have sight that we can be so shallow, if we didn't have the gift of sight, we would just appreciate him for his awesome voice. :wub:

I should think anyone would look dishevelled in that driving rain and wind, Chrysalis!

 

Here's a Tweet which sums up his performance nicely:

Respect for Will Young. Battling with shocking weather here at Epsom but playing a blinder.

From the pic he looks as if he's been to the nearest dustbin to get replacements.

 

P.S. I can't see what's untidy about him though. He's worn those trousers and shirt throughout the tour but just added a waistcoat :mellow:

I didn't realise he'd worn the same trousers etc, throughout the tour munchkin. :( That's a great tweet though. :dance: I do hope all these positive tweets and other great comments bring in more sales for the album(s).

He seems to still be doing well on ITunes - he's dropped slightly overnight from #97 to #103 - so still bubbling along.
