The London Palladium

Run of the mill gig .. as you would expect highly polished set syncing with films on back screen. Setlist missing sone absolute JT classics ie songs of thexwood and minstrel in the gallery.

What a brilliant night……Lulu was on fire, it was her last concert of her last tour on the 60th anniversary of “Shout” being released. Her sister Edwina was her Backing Singer & also has a fantastic voice. The last 5 mins of the concert, Lulu had her Whole Family on Stage with her, including her Gandson……sharing a historic music moment I am sure the6 will never forget!

It wasn’t by accident that Lulu’s last concert of her last tour took place on 17/04/24.It was 60 years to the day that “Shout” made an appearance. The London Palladium was a sell out and what a venue to end it off. The video usage for this show was sensational. By cleverly blending video and live shots of her she was able to ‘duet’ with Maurice Gibb –“First of May”, David Bowie –“The Man Who Sold the World” and Tina Turner –“I Don’t Wanna Fight”. One of the best vocals of the evening was “I Could Never Miss You More Than I Do” .I love her Rocket /Alfa material from the 80’s, but even more I love the “Independence” album and was pleased the song was included-not that I didn’t expect it to be. At the end of the show she brought all of her family on stage, including the grandchildren and reprised an audience participation version of “Shout” .Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey! – A great way to finish off a great evening.

Brilliant show. Martin Fry’s voice was still as strong as ever and the orchestra were superb. My only slight criticism was lack of leg space in grand circle seating, even though I’m not tall.

Fabulous. VIP lounge great too, nice to have champagne before the show. The nibbles unfortunately tasted of nuts so that was no good as I can’t have them! Alfie was fab asual the orchestra very good. The other acts were good too. The only complaint I have the ushers were telling people off for photos and videos, if you went to a concert anywhere else artists encourage these.

We arrived at the venue at 6.30pm as we had VIP (Gold) entry upgrades. At the main entry, a thin, tall, middle-aged man rudely advised they would be closing the area, would we exit the building. We enquired if he could direct us to the entry for VIP, to which he rudely pointed for us to exit and said that the entries were "all marked", and it was two doors down. There was nothing marked, but another employee kindly helped us. This same gentleman came and unlocked VIP door about 6:55pm, turned his back and walked off - so we went to the podium and enquired if this was where we needed to be. We were all then ushered back out the door, the doors were again closed on us and we waited for 3 minutes until it was 7pm. For some reason the staff doing the VIP were not ready at 7pm so another short wait ensued. A lovely Irish young lady (whose name I've forgotten) took us up in the elevator and looked after us from that point on. Just a suggestion, why not tell those that have upgraded their tickets where and when to be on the night and what the process will be? We might very easily have been lost in the shuffle with all of the fellow attendees. We're very grateful for having upgraded to this service and will likely use it again, but some of the staff (not the VIP Gold staffers) were incredibly rude - especially the taller gentleman who appears not to be concerned about his job or how his actions come across to others. These two gents came in late, stinking of beer and other things - proceeded to be obnoxious the entire evening. At the interval, one of the men put his hands on me told him to keep his hands off, he then put his face close to mine which I said for him to stay back. When we returned from the break, my husband kindly switched seats but these two still shouted over the music which was a bummer. The show was great, Warren and the band never disappoint and the sound was outstanding.

Hello - What a great evening!!! Superb performance by Natalie supported by a great group of musicians. From my seat in the stalls the sound quality was excellent and Natalie's voice appeared back to the great old sound belting out some 24 songs . Also glad to see that mobility is not a problem - well done Natalie!!!!! So glad that despite the inclement weather and travel problems, everyone had made it to create a very intimate evening. So glad that I was there at the Palladium on Thursday and even the four hour delay going home to the Midlands on Friday did not seem to matter. Hope we can all attend another concert with Natalie in the near future. Thanks to all Kind regards Roger B Beavon

Brilliant. Have seen Natalie 3 times now over 10 years and her voice is as good as ever As you would expect fantastic backing band. And the string quartet has be dusting down my classical collection! Also shout out to the supporting singer. What a voice. Can say that Natalie is letting up. The whole set was just shy of 2hrs 50 mins.

What a Woman !! A peerless voice that was note perfect from start to finish, and never better. A set that was joyful and emotional in equal measure. A fabulous band of musicians at the top of their game. All adding up to one of the most enjoyable concerts I have ever attended !! After spinal surgery and difficult rehab it is clear for everybody to see how much fun she and the band are having delivering this performance every evening. Just let me say with no shame whatsoever that you made an old man weep at times with the emotion of these beautiful songs. I saw her first in 1988 with the maniacs and twice more since then but last night was the best ever. I hope you keep going forever you fierce, compassionate, articulate and beautiful force of nature. THANK YOU SO MUCH

JP Cooper is undoubtedly the most underrated artist who would out vocal any other artists who have greater fame than JP himself. His vocal range and tone is un matched. His sincerity and humility at the support of fans is clear to see. There are not many artists that leave me with goosebumps. This is the 3rd time I've seen JP the 1st time was supporting the script and I have followed his journey ever since. This concert was at the London Palladium an historic and iconic Theatre the only down side to mention is that nobody got up to dance until latter stages of his show. It was good to sit and appreciate his amazing talent but when your dying to get up and dance it was a bit frustrating as we felt restricted by the etiquette of the venue and not blocking others views. Thankfully JP invited people to get up and dance so not much seated people thereafter. Money well spent with a show that included songs from his 1st album upto his latest. Even a teaser from music he's writing currently. Can't not mention his backing singer and band who were equally as good. But also the most amazing gospel choir joining hin during the show and a backdrop for some of my favourite JP songs. 5*s from me JP you are just amazing beyond words. I had already introduced my partner to JP Coopers music, he was blown away saying you are even better live than your recorded music. Last point in my review this tour would be inclusive of any age range, concert goers ranged from young to fairly old. It also seemed that some attended in small groups were most likely 3 generations from one family.

Inconsistent. Moments and passages of the old brilliance, periods of introspection where a budget sound system meant some of the performance was lost to most except those in front stalls. He’s never been at ease with himself but how many artists are? I remember SRV in his darkest most chemically propelled days still giving a great show. So I was pleased I was there, no regrets, but hoped for more.

An amazing set - nearly 3 hours including a short intermission. He covered his full range of albums in a stripped back acoustic style. Ryan’s guitar playing is sublime and his voice superb.

Wonderful concert and they nailed it! I don't know of any other musicians who could pull off a performance which was note-perfect and enables us, the lucky audience, to appreciate just how good musically the Beatles really were. THE PLACE ROCKED!!!' Fantastic!!!!!

It was everything I had ever dreamed it to be! I have been listening to OneRepublic since 2007 and yet this was my first time seeing them live. I could not have asked for a better experience than this❤️

I lost count to how many of his shows I’ve been....I’m thinking this is probably my favourite. He was SO GOOD it is not even funny. I left happy and sad it was over. 💚

I have seen Newton a few times now. He always delivers , but last night was something else. He is extraordinarily talented, infectiously enthusiastic and a great singer, songwriter and performer. What a fantastic night.

Outstanding night, Newton never disappoints, his talent shines, and his enthusiasm is infectious. He obviously loves what he does. His interaction with the Audience is the best I’ve experienced at any gig. Can’t wait for the next tour 👏👏👏

A perfect evening, Joan never disappoints. My 43rd time seeing her and quite possibly the last, but what a concert it was. Perfect choice of songs and still has the voice of an angel.

It was amazing! Boy was I a happy lady! Waited to see Paul for years here in the USA! But alas I needed to come to London ! It was an amazing week in London, and it all started with seeing Paul carrack! Thanks fior great memories! Hoping to see him here in the USA one day soon!

Peabo vocals were on point and smooth as ever, he soared especially on his own classics. Leo Green Orchestra was tight as well as the beautiful Sumudu who provide her gorgeous female vocals to 2 of Peabo’s classic duets. Lance Ellington was also present to provide his smooth background vocal chops. The only thing missing on the night was the great Mr White to provide that unmistakable deep baritone talking voice on his classics.
