Review by Talia French
Concorde2 has had a new lick of paint, and arriving for the Finley Quaye gig it’s hard to get over how different it is; new paint, new signs, big screen in the bar room, ‘Molton Brown’ hand lotion in the bathrooms, and no more sticky floors!
The bar was already full as beats pulsed through the speakers. At twenty to nine the stage room was full, as the only support band ‘Tin Roots’, began their set, with their brand of ‘feel the bass in your chest’ reggae-ska. Their fans skanked as close to the stage as they could, and the audience got moving to ‘Go Now’ and ‘Animal’ (a Miike Snow and Mark Ronson Cover). Ruby Taylor, lead singer of the band, chatted to the audience, infecting them with her enthusiasm. By the end of their session all the heads in the room were bopping along.
As the crowd waited for Finley, things got a lot friendlier at the front, the idea of personal space became a quaint notion, as fans of all ages tried to squeeze a bit nearer the stage. The band and Finely were greeted with rapturous applause. The audience danced and sang along to ‘Dice’ ‘It’s Great When We’re Together’ and ‘Sunday Shining’, despite not actually being acknowledged by Finley who unfortunately failed to address or face the audience at all.
Towards the end of the performance Quaye suddenly decided to exit the stage leaving the band to finish the song. After a short return to the stage he abruptly disappeared again! After this some disgruntled fans began to boo. However, when the musicians concluded their performance they left to grateful applause from the crowd.
Although Quaye’s music was beautiful, it did not make up for his strange behaviour and the majority of Finley fans that I spoke to were disappointed with the lack of rapport. The new and welcoming décor at Concorde 2 was at odds with a remote and isolated headliner. Tin Roots definitely stole the show, keep an eye out for them on the Festival circuit this year, as they are already showing the big hitters how it should be done.
