{live music}

this was not from the concert last night, but gives you a good taster of his talent...

i have a love hate relationship with live music.
particularly with the smaller venues ~
as i am conflicted between preferring the intimacy afforded by these places,
with the inevitable chatter that seems equally unavoidable within them.

last night was one such occasion at the O2 academy in birmingham.
and, after surviving a near heart attack at how many people could possibly be squished into one space,
and, ignoring the pool of sweat coarsing down the channel of my spine,
i truly began questioning my better judgement of trying to hang out with students at my age!

then paolo came on stage.
and wow.
i was blown away.
this (see above) is why live music is worth it.
