Champagne for Lulu – Symphony Hall, Birmingham (15th April 2024)
Amazing Show
Lulu was amazing, she made the audience feel like we were her family. Her voice is amazing, and she had a very good band with her, including her sister who was amazing too.
I enjoyed every minute of the show, it was an emotional ride through time. Lulu was clearly emotional during her performance... I will remember that night with joy.
Lulu gave me a night of memories and her love for people who have passed was clearly flowing through her performance.
What a great night...❤

Pierce The Veil – O2 Victoria Warehouse, Manchester (6th April 2024)
Amazing Experience
I took my daughter and friend to the Pierce the Veil concert at the O2 Victoria Warehouse as part of her birthday present. I wasn't supposed to be going but her other friend dropped out due to transport issues and I am so glad I did. It was their first gig but I was super impressed.
The ease of purchasing the tickets and downloading them was simple and effortless. The entry was well organised and really efficient. We were in a queue and in the venue within 10 mins of arriving. The atmosphere was fantastic, started by the opening act Holding Absence who got the crowd going, carried on by Dayseeker.
However, Pierce the Veil were another level from the enticing opening until the final number they had the crowd singing in unison. The effects were amazing, a proper show start to finish. My daughter is autistic, and it was a big gamble buying the tickets, as she is very rarely able to leave her room, get dressed and even leave the house. And if we do get to where we are going, if we manage to get in, we normally have to leave within minutes. But the whole experience was so well managed we sailed through everything and arrived just as the music started and she completely lost herself in the sounds so much so it was hard to get her to leave even when the lights came on.
Thank you for making it an experience she will never forget.

Simply Dan – The Robin, Wolverhampton (7th April 2024)
A Great Performance
Simply Dan stood in at short notice to replace the band scheduled for this event. They called in additional musicians, travelling well outside their normal area and gave an exceptional performance.
Well done Simply Dan, well done The Robin and well done Gigantic 👍🎶

The World of Hans Zimmer – OVO Hydro, Glasgow (6th April 2024)
Incredible Show
I absolutely love the music of Hans Zimmer and having seen Hans Zimmer live last year and comparing that to the Blu-Ray of the World of Hans Zimmer I wasn't expecting an experience as good.
However, under the conductorship of Gavin Greenaway and the performance of all the artists I was blown away.
This is an incredible show which even my partner - who had no idea who Hans Zimmer was before meeting me a few years back - was blown away by.
The performers are all incredible and it's wrong to say there was a standout, however, Pedro Eustache blew me away. The Dune 2 excerpt was incredible, along with Pedro's outward passion and exuberance. He seems blessed to be there and we're all blessed not just to see Pedro but all those fantastic performers.
As the great Hans Zimmer says, it is these incredible performers who make his music real and so beautiful.
Thank you all 👏👏👏

Bernhoft – The Jazz Cafe, London (21st April 2024)
Bernhoft At The Jazz Café
This was my first visit to the Jazz Cafe and I was really impressed - a really beautiful venue which is well organised and laid out. The sound was superb and access to the main stage was easy meaning we had a brilliant view.
The support act Storry was fantastic - vocally, and the songs were superb. Bernhoft was as brilliant as always but I felt this was one of the best times we have seen him.
The booking experience with Gigantic was super easy to use and tickets came as a pdf straight to my phone. I will gladly use Gigantic again and hope to visit the Jazz Cafe again.
