THE Singer, Songwriter,
David
Gray at The Philharmonic Hall
in Liverpool on Monday, 1 December 2014, performing in a stunning
show. It is hard to think that he was busking and playing in pubs
just a few years ago in and around Liverpool, and now he is was the
headline act at this amazing venue. David, unlike many who have
received worldwide attention has never lost his connection to the
City, and this devotion was rewarded as the 8 piece band took to the
stage. From start to end, his show was full of rapturous applause
from a very affectionate audience, and he seemed to appreciate this,
heartfelt demonstration. It is hard to say any more, other than this
was a fantastic night. Full of amazing music and with a warm
friendly atmosphere. If you attended please let us know what you
thought of it, by emailing us to:-

by Jo Forrest for us on the night!
