Having released their seventh studio album, Satellites, earlier this year the band are undertaking a world tour of the same name. The support act is Tom Walker who gave a thumpingly impressive 45-minute set of songs which had the packed audience singing along especially with set closer Leave The Light On. I, for one, shall make a point of seeing him next time he tours.
After a short interval you could almost taste the excitement within THE Windsor Hall as The Script took to the . The opening bars of You Won’t Feel a Thing saw the band appear on stage one by one and finally Danny snaking his way through the audience from the back of the arena to join them. An entrance that built even more anticipation - if that’s possible! Superheroes and Rain followed with Danny strutting back and forth across the stage in a red and black sequinned outfit clearly enjoying being in the hall as much as the audience.
The Script are renowned for their strong fan connections and tonight was no exception with Danny joining the audience during Rain and offering the mike to eager fans to singalong. The first offering from the new album was Both Ways during which Danny introduced the band members each receiving huge cheers. The hits just kept on coming and after more classic Script numbers including The Man Who Can’t Be Moved and Millionaires, Danny introduced If You Could See Me Now which he and Mark originally wrote about the passing of their parents.
He dedicated this to Mark and other family.
