I didn’t get very many pictures of the actual show as I was up in the heavens but for my english work we had to write a descriptive piece of an event so I thought I’d share that. It kind of gives you a feel for the night I think:
‘A tall figure bounded onto the stage. He moved towards the microphone before bursting into a melody. He danced gracefully around the stage still singing along with his band who played in the background. Joyful screams accompanied his every word and hands reached out desperately trying to catch him. He would walk on and off stage, coming back out in even more extravagant outfits (Namely his grandmother’s blouse 😂). A smile stayed plastered to my face throughout all of this. It felt as if I had gone to heaven and dreaded when I’d have to descend back to normal life again. At random intervals he would plunge into the sea of people below him and disappear for long moments before resurfacing at the opposite side. The people in the sea moved in waves up and down bringing a small feeling of tranquility to this explosion of love and colour. The songs flooded my ears and lyrics I hadn’t known before poured out of my mouth. The sea below continued its rhythm with water splashing from discarded cups, thrown into the air, creating a mist.’
I worked hard on the piece and I hope it gives a kind of feel for the night. It was the best night of my life. No doubt and I’m so glad there are people to share it with.
