Our verdict of Paolo Nutini at the Glasgow Hydro.
The Paisley crooner casually arrived on“I have been so looking forward to these gigs man. This is a Christmas present for us,” he beamed before he unwrapped a set that was bursting with songs old and new.And this was an invitation his fans were more than willing to accept.Opening with Afterneath, Lose It and Scream , the star impressed from the get-go but it was the stunning Acid Eyes taken from latest album Last Night In The Bittersweet that proved to be an early highlight.
Through the Echoes was a moment as the impressive ballad showed off the prowess in Nutini’s voice before a stripped back version of Coming Up Easy reminded fans of his incredible range. Settling into the set with comfort, Nutini proved to be charismatic throughout his performance with Petrified in Love upping the tempo before a rearrangement of the iconic Pencil Full of Lead.
Jenny Don’t Be Hasty was then played over a rockier melody which on one hand breathed new life into the track. But on the other was perhaps a bold move for fans hoping to hear the original version. That was just the beginning as most of the classics received a reworking including Candy which had the Hydro singing in unison.
