From the moment Fyfe sat at the Grand piano and sang his first song, the audience could instantly tell they were about to experience a very special evening of music.

Seeing Fyfe Dangerfield perform should be on everyone’s music bucket list. The concert was filled with Guillemot favourites and songs from Fyfe’s solo career combining haunting love songs with the most demonic piano playing of anthemic songs I have certainly ever seen. Absolutely breath taking.

This concert was up there in my top 3 favourites of all time – which includes seeing Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds and the great Steve Harley. Tears rolled down my face twice during the evening, firstly as Fyfe ended his first set with the amazing Sao Paulo, which equally matched Harley’s performance of his classic song “Sebastian” at Acapela. The Sao Paulo original is a massive track with huge orchestration and I thought it would be unlikely he would play it, as to do it justice surely could not be achieved by one man on a piano!? But he did and the man on the piano made it sound as if there was an orchestra in the room – by the time the dying notes were ringing out, tears of joy were running down my face…happy to have experienced hearing such a masterpiece live. The Acapela piano has never been played with such intensity and passion!

The audience was euphoric after such a brilliant opening set and you could feel the excitement in the room as they readied themselves for more. And they were not disappointed as Fyfe played a magnificent 2nd set alternating between guitar and the grand piano with so many brilliant Guillemot favourites and a cover thrown in to!

Finally, possibly my favourite ever love song came right at the end , the brilliant “If the World Ends” and guess what? My eyes went moist and again a tear rolled down my cheek.  My wife, sat beside me, knew exactly what this song means to me and together we soaked up every last word and note of this beautiful song.

All I can say to you is when Fyfe returns to Acapela make sure you get to see this amazing musician and experience one of the best nights you will ever see at Acapela or in fact anywhere!

Leddra Chapman returned to Acapela Studio, with a fun, amusing and lively performance.

Leddra, with her band, dominated the Acapela music room with their chilled-out and unique songs all written and performed by Leddra. Throughout the evening Leddra and her band enchanted the audience changing effortlessly from guitar to piano. She engaged the audience encouraging requests, conversations and shoutouts during the show which added to this unique concert. Leddra’s songs are emotive, full of fun, flirtatious, sometimes angry, other times sad.

Supporting Leddra was the fabulous Caitlin Lavagno.

Caitlin stepped in last minute to open Leddra’s show after finishing an acting role and completely astounded the audience. Her personal songs were unique and was the perfect introduction to what was to follow.

In the unique Acapela Studio, Leddra felt totally at home and delivered a beautiful evening of music.

The Remi Harris Hot Club Trio bring swing jazz to Acapela Studio.

Remi Harris, Chris Nesbitt and Tom Moore make up this fabulous band. The trio bring together European Swing , Gypsy Jazz and Blues, while also paying tribute in parts to Peter Green, their inspiration. The trio provided a combination of fast and slow paced songs with acoustic guitar, cello and bass. The dynamic tone of the evening mixes well a variety of songs including classics such as ‘Can’t Buy Me Love’ by The Beatles.

Past plaudits have come from Martin Blues MBE “master of both genres” and the performance is full of “artistry, virtuosity, musicality, and deeply felt passion”. Cerys Matthews says that Harris is “a brilliant guitar player”. But you should come and see for yourself! Find them on Facebook.

The trio are rewarded with a standing ovation – a performance which delivered excellent musicianship as well as some incredible memories.

Acapela Studio has so many more fun, vibrant acts coming this year and it’s not to late to get tickets.
