Fan Review
Our lucky competition winner won the opportunity to review the gig and interview the band. See below to see what they thought:
Having just interviewed Amy for Q I was excited about her live performance on the stage of the Q the Music Club, Hard Rock Café.
Ordinary Life from her second album A Curious Thing started the session in full swing and booming voice.
We were treated to a little chat before she broke into This Pretty Face, her third song to be released from her album soon.
But it was tracks like Springsteen’s Born To Run and her debut This Is The Life that sent her audience into ‘wavy hand’ mode.
Her band was solid to the core and proved that live music is always better than a recording. The venue was small and intimate and you could feel the instruments and Amy’s voice in your chest giving us all an adrenaline rush with the power of their performance.
Her choices of songs were perfect for a Gig that lasted just under an hour and she did what she was there to do. Entertain and put a smile on the faces of all who saw her.
It’s the second time that I have seen her now and I firmly believe she’ll be around on the scene for as long as Springsteen.
Long may she reign.

I just want to thank Ruth Kosla and all at Q who gave me this fantastic opportunity to interview the wonderful Amy MacDonald. It was a great evening and you made me a very happy boy!
I could do reviewing and interview all day everyday! Loved it!
I think I've found my calling! ; - )

I think Amy is probably a wonderful lass but just found out she's charging about £23 for a ticket to her concerts. She's fucking crap. Why the hell does she think she can charge that much?

Well Diego, you're entitled to your opinion but why were you bothered about the ticket price if you don't like her anyway?
I expect you're a Bieber fan so have no taste, but she was worth every penny in my opinion and everyone who was there would vouch for that. I've paid to see her a few times now and even though I won this opportunity to see her, it still didn't detract from the fact that she has more talent and style in her little finger that most artist nowadays ever get in their lifetime.
£23 for a ticket by the way is actually pretty good considering you can pay up to £100 for most artists which i do think is a rip off, but hey, again I think you have a lot to learn about music it seems.
Thanks for the comment though.

Well, she'll either get the hang of it or she'll be so tuaamrtized and grumpy that she'll force everyone to carry her around until she's 21. Do you think she would stand better if you make her angry first?
