Back to writing for the school magazine again this week. This time, I'm writing a review of two events at Tunbridge Wells Forum- The Holloways [6.11.09] and The Automatic [10.11.09]. I started with The Holloways...
As you walk through the doors of the Forum tonight, you are immediately greeted by a buzz of excitement as fans young and old gear up for an energetic night. The faint smell of alcohol follows you round like a bad smell, which in some cases it is. Packed venue? Check. Background music pumping? Check. Dancing fans? Check. Must be time for The Holloways.
From the opening note, fans know they are in for one hell of a good time. Opening with ‘F*** Ups,’ the crowd are already bouncing around like they have ants in their pants- which they hopefully don’t. It’s clear to see that The Holloways know how to get a crowd start, as they mix old classics such as Two Left Feet with new songs from their forthcoming album. Personally, WOK! think the new songs are sounding as good, if not better than the old ones, and the crowd seem to agree. Other album tracks – Dancefloor in particular- create mass frenzy as a giant moshpit circles around the floor.
The night ends with dance-along favourite Generator, the truly show-stealing song. As you long around, every person in the audience is still moving around with the energy of five-year-old. As fans file out in drips and drabs, the smiles on their faces immediately indicates that this has been a worthwhile night out.
