For all that heTonight Julian plays with the same terrific conviction he brought to the showcase and the set works well. He has thrown in a Girls Aloud cover, which works out well, nice anecdote about being on tour with them and his version of Colin Blunstone’s “Say You Don’t Mind” is truely moving. It gets into swing as he plays “Ride My Star” which is a real highlight, but the decision to throw “Wonder Why” in as an encore is a surprise, it is too good to come right at the end. For all that it has been a real success
I have to get across London to see Julian Perretta at The Paradise bar. I wanted to see this as he has a lot of fans down from My Space, some who have travelled a long way to see him. He is good onstage, confident, the sound is spot on. “Ride My Style” and “Wonder Why” are great and the Guy Chambers' song work well. Afterwards I say hi to Julian, he is being mobbed by kids.
We are driving across London through traffic that has been brought to a standstill by a reccurance of falling snow. Two of Columbia's recent signing are playing on a mixed bill at The Hoxton Bar and Grill. First up is Charlotte O'Conner, an eighteen year old from Blackburn. She is all bashful charm and northern humour which belies her striking good looks and incredible voice. It takes everyone by surprise when she hits some killer notes as she works around a collection of soulful uplifting songs. Julian is also not long out of his teens but is developing a hard edged confidence up on stage. His piano driven tunes are already feeling like standards and his voice has what it takes to captivate a room.
