SAILOR belong to Glasgow- A concert review by Malcolm Knowles:
Glasgow Concert Hall Main
Auditorium is a very large venue and it was clear as we took our
seats that the hall would be far from full. Difficult to get a
full house when there has been a football cup final in town and
Kylie is playing down the road on the same day!! However,
this was Scotland and Scottish audiences, big or small, are
famous for giving bands a warm welcome. And thats exactly
what SAILOR got an enthusiastic response to every song.
"Champagne" had everyone clapping from the start and
Grant had no problem getting the crowd waving their arms and
swaying to "The Old Nickelodeon Sound". "Karma
Chameleon" is not always the easiest crowd participation
song, but the good people of Glasgow even made a decent job of
that.
Robs "Hornpipe" provided a very smooth link to
the "Full Monty" which, in turn, created genuine
hilarity throughout the hall. In short, the boys played their
short set with visible passion and energy and were rewarded with
the best response anyone could expect from the number of people
there.
During the interval, there were plenty of people keen to grab a
few words with the band and wanting to get things signed. Not
sure how many bought the merchandise with three bands on
the bill it is always going to be difficult for the first band on
to sell many CDs. However, it was clear that here in Glasgow
SAILOR had definitely made some new friends. One die hard Sweet
fan told me that he had been "worried" about seeing
SAILOR but having seen their set "thought they were
great". No arguments from me this was a fast paced,
lively set played to a receptive crowd. I left with high hopes
that my trip to Edinburgh the following night would be similarly
rewarded.
