17.12.02 : Beverley Knight UK Tour 'The Final Night'

Last
night, Beverley Knight ended her current UK Tour with
an AMAZING show in London's Hammersmith Apollo. This included
the surprise guest appearance by Fame Academy's Lemar,
during 'Beautiful Contradiction'. The collaboration came
about, when Bev sent him an email last week, asking him
to sing with her at the event. Lemar jumped at the chance!
After the show, Lemar told Radio
1 that he was really chuffed with the performance
- "You know, I was not nervous at all, and then she
said 'Lemar' and I was so nervous it was unbelievable.
But when I came out, the crowd were really nice - I had
a great reception, so nice!". "In the academy
I did a duet with Lionel Richie, I come out and do a duet
with Beverley Knight, it's amazing - I'm on a little whirlwind
right now and I don't want it to end."
Other
highlights apart from Bev's whole set, included Rhianna
singing 'Moon Is Blue' & her new single 'I Love Every
Little Thing About You', DJ Pogo and his mixing, the outstanding
vocals by the backing singers, and BK pulling a load of
fans from the audience, up onto the stage during her last
song 'Get Up!'. What a night!! Check out the pictures
above (Thanx Cristina!)

06.12.02 : Review Of Glasgow Gig Last Night (Thanx Alan
Thorburn!) ::
When BK shimmied onto stage last night in Glasgow, in
her tartan mini-skirt and tiny over-the-shoulder plaid,
it was her thoughtful gesture to her Scottish audience "north-of-the-border".
Understandably, she was welcomed with cheers of approval
:)
But, this girl can stand free on her R&B credentials.
It was her positivity, energy and raw power of her voice
which soared its way into our hearts down to our feet which
were boppin’ and stompin’ something awful for
a set which lasted 1hr 45m including some gospel moments
:)
Overcoming, the oh so predicatable initial lumpy sound mix,
(why is this guys?) and some failures on the lighting rigs
(!!!) things eventually settled down on the sound and she
took us through some much improved versions from the B-Funk
and Prodigal Sista albums; a superb bluesy version of Sista
Sista to her latest Wyclef Jean produced Shape Of You which
was thundered out in a hypnotic groove. No need for a click
track when you have Carlos Hercules on drums and Steve Walters
on bass.
Launching out on her UK singles Shoulda Woulda Coulda and
Gold, little did BK realise her voice would break, and she
would have to sit out, as she was drowned out by the audience
singing her written words back to her with "pure gold"
love. She was visibly overcome and grinned cheekily from
ear to ear with the pleasure. What more could we do to make
her feel welcome?
After, that the party was definitely ON bigtime - Ain’t
Nothing Going On But The Rent started down the runway past
Flava Of The Old School, (my particular fav) a brand new
track Soon Come, then allowing her backing singers full
centre stage for a vocal workout and into the encore of
Get Up - as if we needed the invitation! A full band bow
and farewell and they were off to the after gig party -
no backstage passes for me :(

It has just been announced that 'Shape Of You' (Reshaped)
featuring Hollywood, will be released on Monday 24th February
2003.
:: 03.12.02 : The Bristol Gig & Photos ::
The first night of Beverley Knight’s UK Tour went
down a storm @ the Bristol Academy on Monday evening. The
'Prodigal Sista' herself kicked off the set with ‘Greatest
Day’ followed by hits from her three fantastic albums,
including 'Get Up', a remake of 'Sista Sista' and 'Flava
Of The Old School'. BK even surprised fans with a brand
new track called ‘Soon Come’, and ended the
night with the remixed and reshaped version of ‘Shape
Of You’. A few lucky fans (The Jess Fleming Crew!)
also threw a teddy and a note up onto the stage, which BK
read out, and cried to!
