A guest for Van Morrison · Tue, 03 Nov 2026
The sound was not great, it was difficult to make out the lyrics and he did not sing Brown Eyed Girl!

Dreadful concert. Very late coming on to the stage.
Out of tune, shouting rather than singing, and one was particularly bad. Just a band with 3 guys playing the music, no orchestra.
We left after the 4th song, and other people left before us. Very very poor.A guest for Christine and the Queens · Fri, 08 Sep 2023
Had great seats, loved Chris and her musicians, no old stuff but he's moved on. I wanted to stand at exciting, spectacular finale but as we were in front row of GC, was aware l might obscure view so sat bobbing around in my seat. Audience spellbound but as usual, Edinburgh looks like it's on Night Nurse at concerts sometimes. Next time, will find side seats and jump around

Great voice obvs, never sang any old stuff, which I was disappointed with, tbh, no queens either, but weird statues, very weird concert, was on stage with no top on or bra, I actually left before it finished
A guest for Paolo Nutini · Thu, 31 Aug 2023
I was there and it was a wonderful experience . I have seen Paolo several times . He has been brilliant every time. However, there was just something special about this night . There was magic in the air.
A guest for Matthew Herbert · Fri, 18 Aug 2023
Thought it was all emperors new clothes. Absolutely awful snd amateurish. Total waste of money...
A guest for The Blockheads · Fri, 24 Feb 2023
Absolutely outstanding. Took my 25 year old daughter and she is in a band
She said never seen a tighter band. All fantastic on the night special mention to vocalist though

A guest 80% for Van Morrison · Tue, 03 Nov 2026
Sound was muddy. He started out slowly with an incomprehensible “Into the Mystic” but improved steadily. His voice was strong, his band mostly excellent (the trumpeter seemed off at times) and the setlist was a good mix of Van classics and soul standards like Ray Charles’s “I Believe.” The show was exactly what I expected and I’m happy I saw him live.
