The last of my planned gigs for this year has come and gone ever so quickly as always! As the inevitable PCD (Post Concert Depression) sets in I thought I'd write a little review.
Last weekend I visited the London O2 arena twice.....yes twice, to see The Script, which consisted of one very relaxed evening on Friday, and a very hectic 10 hour wait in the freezing O2 on Saturday. Although, it was an amazing experience I don't think I'll be in a rush to queue all day again any time soon! Especially not at this time of year. However, the kindness of the people around me in the queue in the effort to keep everyone warm, was in fact something that is very rare to find these days!
The Script as always bought a huge amount of energy to the O2 starting off with their new song from their fourth album, 'Paint The Town Green', being paraded in by 40 lucky fans holding green lit up flags, that lets be honest looked a little like lightsabers! They proceeded to then perform another new song, which featured in the Mrs Brown's Boys movie last year, 'Hail, rain or sunshine' which I did not expect to be on the set list, but we were not disappointed with the positive energy that it bought to the crowd, providing a promising tone for the evening ahead. The Script being crowd pleaser's meant that as always their most famous songs 'Breakeven', 'For the first time' and 'The man who can't be moved' were played in the mix of new songs, which took all us older fans back to the 'Good ol' days' (excuse the pun!).
However, many times I see The Script the face of true disbelief on their faces after 'The man who can't be moved' never gets old, showing how grateful they are to everyone who listens to their music, or goes to see them live, for enabling them to do something they love everyday.

Friday- 'Hall of fame'
Every tour The Script discuss in interviews how this tour is going to be even better than the last, which gets fans thinking how could it?? But as promised they, yet again, came back with a bigger show. This included stunning lasers in 'No Good in goodbye' and 'Man on a wire', as well as a second stage, which enabled the fans at the back of the arena to get involved in the show. But lets not forget their classic 'Nothing' call, the banter they share on stage, Danny's run through the crowd in 'You won't feel a thing', and of course their drink off's!
The addition of 'It's not right for you' to the set, another of their uplifting anthems proved to be a hit, with the song being many peoples reason for following their dreams, and on multiple occasions an excuse to get out of something because 'It's not right for you'!
I could go on all night about the two amazing nights that I had, but I cannot wait for the next time I get to see this amazing band again, and make many more amazing memories.

I had amazing time both nights to say the least, along with being able to share the experience with my mum and my best friend.....who put up with my major fangirling every time I see The Script.
I'll be uploading some videos from both nights onto my YouTube channel, so feel free to check them out! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NeqDJKFHdzQ (Paint the town green- Friday)
