Live review: Beyonce at LG Arena, Mon 24 February

Thankfully last night was a school night, so there was no repeat of my drunken Jake Bugg antics and I could actually take in all of the audio-visual assault that is Beyonce’s Mrs Carter World Tour.

First up, I managed to catch a bit of X Factor winner Sam Bailey’s support set – which was largely uneventful save for a few encouraging whoops and cheers from the crowd when she hit the high notes. Naturally Sam was made up to be supporting Beyonce, and modestly conceded that she ‘would never be as good’ as the US superstar. Read more about Live review: Beyonce at LG Arena, Mon 24 February …

Live review: Jake Bugg at Royal Albert Hall – Fri 21 Feb 2014

Before arriving at the Royal Albert Hall I was already one bottle of wine into the night. The queue for the bar inside the venue was so big that me and the girlfriend made the sensible decision to each buy a bottle of wine, so as to avoid having to go back to the bar during the gig. Subsequently, my memory of Jake Bugg’s performance doesn’t extend to much of the particular details. I have a general sense of it being a very good gig, with Jake doing an excellent job of filling the vast and opulent cavern that is the Royal Albert Hall, and I remember certain aspects of the night – which I will try and sketch out below.

First of all, I had the presence of mind to capture the evening in photo form – with this excellent picture:
