Will Young concert - Wembley Arena

After a very pleasant afternoon wandering around Covent Garden and an excellent meal at Cafe Rouge we headed off to the revamped Wembley Arena to see Will Young in concert.

To quote the Evening Standard Reviewer (who for the most part I agreed with, and where I didn't I have used my self appointed right of censorship!)...

“Young and a top-notch team of dancers, singers and musicians treated the fans
to a huge theatrical production that featured an array of costumes, sets and themes.
With five No 1 singles and two No 1 albums behind him, Young has amassed quite a back catalogue in the last four years and his confident 20-song extravaganza was a timely reminder of his rapid development from Pop Idol winner to heavyweight artist.
Opening with Keep On, the title track of his current album, Young stunned the
audience as he turned it into a sizzling song-and-dance number, looking cool and confident in a dashing air steward's outfit.
Every couple of songs saw the show's format change drastically, the only common
factors being exquisite sets, impeccably tailored period costumes, faultless dance routines and a strong, sensitive vocal performance. All I Want was a highlight, with an equestrian-themed routine that wouldn't have been out of place on the West End stage.
His version of Love The One You're With felt genuinely soulful, but from a purely musical point of view, his finest moments came during a gospel-style session with three excellent backing singers.
Stripped of all the razzmatazz, his voice shone during this tender medley of What's In Goodbye and Love Struck.
He pulled out all the stops with his encore, an impressive extended version of Switch It On, featuring yet more beautiful costumes and a spirited dance routine, hammering home his credentials as a consummate professional showman.”

All in all, an excellent evening!
