Fred in the Opera House

Fred played in the Opera House last night and it was a really enjoyable gig. The first support act was a guy called Joel Plaskett. He is a Canadian singer songwriter from Nova Scotia! I loved the song he sang about his cat ‘white fang’ that has no ears and looks like a baby seal. Delorentos were the second support act and they played an energetic set. The lead singer was sporting a moustache in aid of Movember and looked a bit demented especially with his mad curly hair. The band did a good job of warming up the crowd for Fred. There was a little break and then Fred came on and gave a very upbeat performance. They played a good mix of songs and when they came back on for an encore they were all wearing check shirts. The drummer swopped with the guitar player and led the band in singing ‘Hungry Heart’ which seems to be something they picked up on their Canadian tour (presumably along with Joel Plaskett). :-) After that the band left again and most of them came back wearing white clothes and they finished the show with Skyscrapers.

Ps. Apparently Joel Plaskett is playing in the Roundy tonight!
