July 25, 200816 yr A very special event was held last night In the music week magazine in the 'Whats on this week' section Thursday Will Young Barbecue The walled garden Fulham london
July 25, 200816 yr Album Launch last night :yahoo: Will Young charms at 'Poshfest' by ARWA HAIDER - Friday, July 25, 2008 Will Young - 'total charmer on stage' Original Pop Idol Will Young joked about hosting 'Poshfest' or 'Willstock', as he performed an exclusive outdoor showcase in the swanky grounds of Fulham Palace, London, last night. The site was decked out to resemble a village fete, with bunting, tree lights and a sizzling bbq, and the summer evening weather couldn't have been balmier when Will took to the stage with a full live band and backing vocalists. His short but sweet set comprised four new numbers from his upcoming album Let It Go (due for a September release), partly written in collaboration with pop supremo Eg White – plus a poignant rendition of his massive hit Leave Right Now, and an impressively sassy cover of Joni Mitchell's track Help Me, which proved Will's vocal range was on top form. The taster of new material focused on familiar romantic themes, enhanced by the classy, soulful talents of Will and his outfit. First single release Changes was an upbeat, if relatively 'safe', easy-on-the-ears number; this was followed by the emotive, more downbeat Disconnected, the retro-tinged album title track, and the arguable highlight, a heavier, soul-rock number entitled Grace, which rounded off the set-list. Will himself was a total charmer onstage, chattering affably between numbers, and throwing himself into the performance with such gusto that he didn't appear to realise that his flies were undone and his tight jeans falling down to reveal (pristine white, possibly ironed) underpants. Of course, this only drew heartier cheers from the audience – particularly when he simply pulled his pants up and continued to sing his heart out. With this homegrown soul man, it really is all in the delivery. Edited July 25, 200816 yr by sunday

July 25, 200816 yr Another one :D http://www.deanpiper.com/index.php/2008/07...o-album-launch/ Will Young performs new tracks at his ‘Let It Go’ album launch In the past I’ve not always found Will Young that easy to get on with – he can often be either grumpy or stand offish. But he was on fine form and more charming than ever before when we met up for a chat last night after he had performed tracks from his new album Let It Go that comes out on September 29. And from what I heard last night, Will has another Number One album under his belt. The new material is great – and absolutely perfect for his voice. Smooth, soulful and pretty much the best stuff he’s ever released. He has a great voice live too….. Will threw a garden party in the grounds of the Fulham Palace to celebrate his first outing of music from the new record. He performed completely live with his band and had two ace backing singers. It was great listening to him perform in front of such an intimate crowd full of mainly record company PRs and journos. The head honchos of 19 Management were there too – including Pop Idol’s Nikki Chapman and big boss Simon Fuller. Will sang four new songs, hit single Leave Right Now and covered Joni Mitchell’s track Help Me. The new tracks are great. The first single is Changes and is a radio smash hit to start with, Disconnected is slow and pure, album title track Let It Go is my personal favourite and Grace is the soulful classic all the fans will love. Talking about the new album Will told me: “I’m so excited to be starting work on a new album and performing all the new material. “The last album was harder to get out and I wasn’t as comfortable with it. I felt far more uneasy about the material last time - but this one has been a really easy process. It was easier to write and easier to record. I feel so much less pressure on this record - it’s just great to be doing another record seven years later.” Will’s also ecstatic that his new tour has sold out and been extended like it has. “And its amazing that the tour has sold out so well too,” he added. “It’s always a worry that things won’t sell out but we had to add extra dates in the end. So I was thrilled.” Oh and FYI, Will’s still puffing away on the fags too – and was walking around after his performance with his Marlboro Lights in hand. This album has instant pop classic written all over it…..and I can’t wait to get my hands on an actual copy!
