Adam Ant, Gig Review. Birmingham Symphony Hall.

Liverpool Sound and Vision Rating 8.5/10

There are entertainers and there are showmen, there are the musicians and songwriters to whom artistic impression is everything and to which a brief single moment in time in their company as they strut the stage is enough to fall in love with them.

There is no doubt that Adam Ant, a darling of the British music empire, a man who broke rules and was loved for it, still has the ability to turn heads, to slay an audience with a single smile and to offer the feelings of youthful unfulfilled desire with a single bound of his incredible presence. The stage would not be anything without the man to whom personality is an overwhelming prospect and outlandish cool but a genuine request to stand in awe of.

The invisible but highly audible Sirens that line up and down Birmingham’s glittering Broad Street area could have bayed and bleated all night long as they watched the neon lights fade and dim to obscurity, nothing could have torn the rapt attention of the audience inside the Symphony Hall away from Steve Hackett and the band as they recreated for the final night in the U.K., the songs that entranced a generation and beyond.

Trevor Moss And Hannah Lou, Gig Review. Birmingham Symphony Hall.

Being asked to support Tori Amos on her latest tour must feel in some cases akin to finding a winning lottery ticket from a couple of months previous and then finding its worth more than you imagined. Whilst there have been many over the years who have this very immense privilege of working with arguably one of the greatest in depth lyric writers of the last twenty years, none perhaps have seemed to enjoy the sensation as much as Trevor Moss and Hannah Lou.
