    What a totally brilliant evening!! They have got to come back it's by far the best and most intermate concert I've been too and the sound was out of this world!. My only disappointment was not managing to get a signature!

  • ThanetGigs was there 100% for Shane Filan · Thu, 20 Nov 2014

    Fantastic! Shane put on an excellent Show with his Band. Singing some Westlife Songs and some of his own, plus his rendition of True Colours, of which he fluffed up the lyrics and had to start again, but that all added to the ambiance :)
    Lucky Audience Member 'Nanny Cally' was taken up on stage and sung with Shane singing Mandy and changing the lyrics to Cally. What a lovely Birthday treat for her, even enjoying a glass of Guinness with Shane.
    Supporting Act Ben Montague was spot on too, funny, talented and full of energy.

    Great show :) Amazing to see him in a smaller venue. Ben Montague was superb as support and hilarious too. Shane was awesome, great interaction with the crowd and stunning performance

    More like a Tribute Band...without Ali! Its like watching Take That without Gary Barlow!! Misleading to advertise as UB40 when your not seeing the full band!!
