Ashley McBryde had the audience eating out of her hand last night at the O2 in Glasgow. When she sang “And where they said I’d never be is exactly where I am” the crowd went wild as they sang along. And rightly so. She is a great singer and a wonderful performer, and she made us all feel that she was so happy to be touring the UK again after the postponement due to Covid. It was one of those special evenings when you feel as if you are part of a crowd that is in the right place at the right time.
Heather and Ewan had kindly asked me to join them for dinner at Amarone before the concert, and insisted on treating me, before we walked the remarkably short journey across town to Eglinton Street. When we arrived we were told that we had different types of tickets; Heather and Ewan were downstairs and I was sent upstairs to the balcony. I did ask the security lady if I could accompany them but was rather strictly told no! So upstairs I went and managed to get a seat with a rather excellent view. I missed being with my friends but I was glad that I had a seat. I have spent plenty of time standing at concerts, and indeed dancing, but I do like to have a seat if possible so that I can sit down if I get tired, or between acts. We were plenty early so as I waited first for the support act (Austin Jenkes, who was very good) and then after he finished, another half hour until Ashley McBryde came on, I enjoyed doing some online shopping for summer dresses!
