Scouting For Girls - Friday 9th December - O2 Shepherds Bush Empire

Singer Roy Stride goes walkabout to the balcony

Brief review:  My pet hate for the SBE is that the seats are usually unreserved so if you want to sit together (or at all) you have to get in early. That was the plan (to arrive at doors opening) until a train delay and missed connection meant we were 15 minutes late. And the advertised time must have been wrong as the first support act was already mid set and 3/4 of the seats were full! Still at least we got some and on the end of a row too which was useful for bar access, but did mean we were up and down like a yo-yo for the 2 supports and main act!

Scouting for Girls have realised that everyone loves their first album and so they rightly milk the contents of that whilst interspersing other favourites and new songs around it. You know their show will be fun and well performed with lots of sing-a-long anthems and this was no exception. Rumour has it that they are due to headline Cheam's FeastyFest next year.

Venue and View:  Level 1 seats. Towards back on far left, but with a clear view of the stage
