In many ways this is a triumph for this year’s winner of The Voice, however in many ways it must be slightly frustrating.
The very early start means that King Tut’s Wah Wah Tent is almost empty when Stevie McCrorie takes to the stage and kicks off with his top ten single Lost Stars.
As the show rolls on the tent fills up with a number of people who are literally sprinting towards the stage to embrace McCrorie’s dad rock balladry.
Enough people flood into the tent to make you realise that The Voice, dwarfed by it’s ITV cousin The X-Factor, is quite a big deal.
Debuting tracks from his upcoming first album, the fireman from Alloa has the swelling crowd in the palm of his hand and each song is greeted by ever more enthusiastic applause, punctuated by high-pitched screams of delight.
By the time he gets to his penultimate song of the set, a cover of Kodaline’s All I Want that first shot him to fame, McCrorie must be as pleased with his afternoon’s work as the fans who crawled out of their tents at this unsociable hour.
