Paolo Nutini

Paolo Nutini is indeed a force to be reckoned with lately, with the release of his third studio album 'Caustic Love' debuting at number one in the charts he is one of the hottest artists right now.
It is certainly undeniable that this Scot has managed to fuse together musical genres that others would be wary of attempting. He successfully manages to merge together folk, blues and soul rock; all of which are present in his latest album.
The 27 year-old burst onto the scene back in 2005 with his debut album 'These Streets' which still to this day harbour many of his most well-known tracks. Throughout his career Nutini has never been one to shy away from taking chances which could evidently be seen during his set at V Festival. With crowd favourites such as 'New Shoes' and 'These Streets' not being forgotten it was album tracks such as 'Better Man' which really showcase the talent this man has. However, with such a variation of genres being thrown into the mix it is no doubt that fans would be slightly apprehensive to see how a live show with the musician could possibly play out. But I'm here to throw all your worries away and tell you that Nutini knows exactly how to work a crowd.
He manages to captivate his crowd whole heartedly with only a few words being shared to the crowd between songs, but let me reassure you that for most his smouldering eyes and rocker style is enough to make you fall completely in love with his soulful voice.

After five long years since seeing Paolo Nutini live, our group was beyond excited when we found out he'd be touring the USA. My sister introduced us to his music in 2009, where we saw him live in Vancouver, BC. He was amazing then with his crooner music style. He seemed shy and hardly looked up at the crowd. Fast forward to 2014 at The Troubadour, Los Angeles where we waited with the sold out crowd anticipating his latest music and hoping for some of our old favorites (Candy, New Shoes, Jenny Don't Be Hasty). Paolo didn't disappoint! He's grown as a musician who plays to his audience-his energy was contagious! He took an old favorite and changed it up to be more soulful. He played his new songs and mixed it up with his older favorite hits. We met fans who'd seen him in NY and flew to LA to see this show. Paolo's show at the Troubadour was electrifying-he's always been a great musician but he's kicked it up to another level. His band "The Viper's" were as amazing-his backup singer had the vocals of an angel! I hope when we see him in Oakland, CA this September his show's just as great as last night's was. "Epic" is how a new fan described last night's concert and I absolutely agree. If you get the chance to see this guy in concert run, don't walk and get those tickets as fast as you can!

Paolo Nutini's body and soul on stage. After a few hours of typical Dutch rain, the sun came out again when Paolo Nutini closed a great festival day of "De Wereld Draait Buiten" at Westerpark, Amsterdam. We already had a great time, where especially Michael Kiwanuka's gig was above our (high) expectations!
At 9 pm, you could see all festival people coming from every corner of the festival and gathered at the Park Stage to experience a spectacular ending of the day. Most of us were cold and soaking wet, but from the first sound of Nutini's voice, we were warmed. Nutini played mostly songs of his recent album and a great "medley" of some of his older songs. As we know him, he puts his body and soul in his performance. Some might say he yells a lot, but if you like his music, every scream touches you. Music isn't just fun, it's about sharing your emotions. " I don't love you, I need you " Emotions were all over the place, on stage and in the audience. A great performance of a great man!

Seeing Paolo Nutini live is more of an experience than just attending a concert.

It's a roller coaster of emotions that will have you bouncing out your seat to "Jenny Don't Be Hasty" one minute then reaching for your hanky to wipe away tears the next as Paolo sings you the stories of his personal experiences.

With a voice that belies his youth you will truly be doing your ears and your soul a favour by taking them along for the ride. What this man's lyrics and voice can do in 45 minutes is more than any therapist can do in 15 years.

I have never been disappointed by anything that Paolo & the Vipers have sung. The man and his band are pure musical gold. "These Streets", "Sunny Side Up" or "Caustic Love" – you decide, when you love one you will love them all. It's only a matter of time.

Paolo Nutini was incredible. The support acts were not altogether that brilliant: Grace Jones arrived very late and did not appeal to the younger half of the audience (myself included).
When Paolo arrived onstage I was pleased to see he was not at all worse for wear, as it had been so disappointing when he couldn't remember his own song lyrics at TitP last year. He was on top form all the way through the night, interacting with his native crowd as only a a Scot can.
I was disappointed not to hear 'Growing Up Beside You', but generally the set list was excellent.
Highlights included Iron Sky, with red flares adding to the performance. The fireworks at the end were a beautiful way to end, accompanying last request.

Had an absolute ball last night. Paolo Nutini was outstanding. Waited weeks to see him since I bought the ticket, and he did not disappoint on the day. Can't wait for him to return to Swansea, if he does ( I pray he does). He was incredible from the moment he walked out on stage, to the moment he left the stage. When he jumped in the crowd, I thought I was going to faint haha. I couldn't believe how close to the stage I was (3/4 rows back). Thank You Paolo Nutini for such an incredible day!

I really like Paolo and his music. He is very talented and was very excited to see him. After purchasing two tickets for my girlfriend and I for her birthday we expected a great night. Unfortunately while Paolo performed great on the night the O2 Millennium Dome was such a bad venue for him. 80% of the crowd were seated and those that were standing looked like they had never danced in their lives. This was such a shame. Please don't play in venues like that again Paolo. Ben.

Despite the fact that his support act, Grace Jones, was over 20 minutes late, Paolo materialised on stage just in time. I was only able to stay for about half of the gig because my friend was ill but what I heard of him made me wish I could have seen it all. The passion in his voice when he sings, particularly to his home country, sends shivers up and down my spine. Just when you think you've heard "Better Man", he puts a whole new twist on it. One of my best gigs to date.

Fantastic. A smaller venue is definitely best. He wowed the crowed and gave his best. All for a grest cause we all knew why we there.. he did not keep going on expecting praise for giving his time but paid his due respect for Beverlea abd to her lovley son who he brought on stage at the end his acustic version of last respect was one to remember for ever. Brilliant man and performer. Nit forgetting his band members who also gave it there all.

This show was awesome, Paolo's music was transformed to something different but familiar hearing it live! He is the best! His voice and his looks improve with age! He looked hotter than ever and really interacted with the fans! I will defenitly go to his next show. Lo Amo! Mwah!
