Before Ed Sheeran took the stage at 9pm to do a two hour setlist Passenger and Foy Vance were the support acts. First Passenger came on stage to preform a 40 minute setlist, i'd never heard of him but soon fell in love with his catchy lyrics and fun personality, quicking warming up the audience with great interactions. Almost a week on and i'm still humming the chours to the song ' I hate ' after only hearing it once.
Next up came Foy Vance with another 40 minute set, he was alot quieter than passenger and his style was different but still enjoyable, making the audience sing along and have a good time.
We got rather close to the front of the crowd and had a good view as Ed Sheeran boomed onto stage with the fan favorite Give Me Love and the entire crowd shouted and sung along with Ed. Just beside me and Lucy stood a drunk foursom merily dancing and singing, they amused us alot until they moved towards the back. Also at this point there were a group of girls behind us complaining about something and me and Lucy tried to secretly get pictures of them and we heard them saying that they wanted to photobomb us, so all worked out and we got a terrible picture of one of the girls. Anyway the girls soon moved away, or maybe me and Lucy got closer - It felt like that.
Mr Sheeran had the crowd under his control, asking for silence in slow songs such as Small Bump and had the crowd screaming as loud as they could with songs like Lego House. There where the more intimate moments when he spoke to the crowd about nights out having everyone wrap their arms around eachother and sway singing the beautiful This Is. Thoughout the proformance he brought out each of the support acts and sang duets with them excellently.
When Ed came back on for the encore be belted out the extended edition of You Need Me Man I Don't Need You which had me to start thinking maybe this guy is a robot, seriously he rapped for almost ten minutes straight having the ocassional moment with the crowd getting them to sing along. Then onto The Parting Glass the crowd silent as he played acoustic with no microphone and finally played fan favorite A Team and the crowd chanted every lyric of the song with him.
This description really does not do the concert justice, me and Lucy had an excellent times and thought that Ed was brilliant live, even better live than he is on the records. I would most definatley go and see him again live. Everyone around was super friendly, the songs where grade A and the night was great.
