Live Music is the best kind of music. If you disagree, why not check out Hudson Taylor and their live videos? After seeing Hudson Taylor perform at The Rescue Rooms, with real talent, Jack Morris and Southern as support acts and the emotionally driven music, there was no doubt that we would be purchasing tickets to their next gig in Nottingham - the Dot To Dot festival. You may feel that some Irish folk pop tunes can be repeatative however, this duo ( that consists of brothers Alfie and Harry Hudson-Taylor ) are different. Each song is dramatically different which really shows in their concerts. With ''Singing For Strangers' being recently released and just finishing a tour, these boys have been busy however, it never interfers with the time they spend pleasing their fans. If possible, before each gig Hudson Taylor busk in the city's streets to make that ersonnal connection thy hold with their fans even stronger! No doubt about it - these boys care for their fan and really value what they're doing.
We all know that most artist's songs are emotionally driven and it's very cliché for the stimulus to be family or friends. This is NOT the case when it comes to the heart warming song 'Holly' (high quality, live footage link below) which is written about HT's sister. The lyrics aren't all lovey dovey and cringe worthy - they're unique and simply genius! Watching the boys take off their microphones and unplug the guitars from the speakers to perform the song down stage to the audience, with no supporting musicians, really emphasises how much they trust the watching crowd as well as how much the audience appreciates the communication between them. As they started to sing, the room became silent and it was a nice atmosphere to be in. This rarely happens at concerts and when it does, it makes you thankful to have music in your life and how dull it would be without it. You also have the respected thought that everyone in that room, no matter what race, age, gender, size, shape or language, is listening to the same music as you, under the same roof with the same people and is enjoying it.
On a lighter note, one of Hudson Taylor's most well-known songs, 'Battles' (the last song on the playlist) was performed with energetic movements and vocals. As well as this, it was also showing the backstage version of Harry and Alfie because they just had fun. This just made the performance more enjoyable for everyone.
