I saw none other than the UKs current No1 SAM SMITH! Recently awarded the Critics' Choice award at the Brits and set for big big things if I don’t say so myself!
Smith was supported by Josh Record, who I’ve been listening too since the end of 2012 when his song “For Your Love” was used on a Sam Pepper YouTube video, I remember downloading the song at the time but he’s actually re-releasing this as his new single in March!
The gig was at The Old Market “TOM” in Hove, East Sussex so nice and close to home for me! The venue is so small and intimate which makes the experience even better, I much prefer small events to the huge commercial events like the O2.
As it was in Brighton/Hove I was expecting to see people I knew, which I didn’t which is something I also like! It’s nice to be out and to not see the same old faces! The 1 person I did notice was Alfie Deyes “PointlessBlog” from YouTube! There with his Mum & Dad! Alfie later tweeted about the gig and urged people to see Smith & Record if they ever get the chance so he must of enjoyed it! I was hoping Alfie would have been Vlogging and I would have 100% tried to be in it haha.
The UK No1 announcement was made at 7PM last night, and Sam was due on stage at 8:15! After a few songs you could hear the “Money on My Mind” intro and Sam took to the stage to announce he had made the No1 spot! Must have been such a good feeling for him! And for us in the audience to experience that was a one off and the crown went wild while he sang his No1 hit!
My favourite tracks from the night were, Lay Me Down, Nirvana, Money on My Mind & Make It To Me by Sam Smith also Bones & For Your Love by Josh Record.
