Mr Hudson at the Orange Rooms

Written for Listed Magazine

“We came here with Calvin Harris and you were animals. We’re here tonight and you’re animals. Bournemouth – you are animals!”
Sporting a leather jacket and jeans, Mr Hudson reaches out to touch the outstretched hands of the crowd, before launching into ‘White Lies’.
The retro settings of Bournemouth’s Orange Rooms made it a stella venue for the gig, with their quirky 70s wallpaper, swinging chairs and TV screens playing Star Wars. Drinks were a bit more expensive than in other places, but their inventive cocktails are well worth the price.
After ‘Forever Young’, which saw the audience leaping up and down, screaming the lyrics back at the artist, came the hit which saw Mr Hudson rocket to fame – ‘Supernova’.
After a performance that was out of this world came the black hole that this was already the end of the set. The artist sang only three songs, leaving the audience wanting more.
The venue was refreshingly different and the set had a lively atmosphere. I've no doubt Mr Hudson’s performance will be talked about for lightyears to come.
