It’s taken him a while to shake off the association with Busted, but Charlie Simpson has finally done it. Having to cancel the Manchester show last week due to illness, there’s a lot of anticipation in the room tonight. As soon as the doors open, hundreds of eager fans all rush to the front just to secure a place on the barrier. On a side note, if you’re coming to a gig just to see the main act and then shout abuse towards all the support acts, kindly fuck off and die.

Rating:
From the wildly successful bubblegum pop of Busted to the more credible (and vastly darker) melancholic rock of Fightstar, it’s certainly fair to say that the career of Charlie Simpson so far has been diverse. So, it’s not surprising that ‘Young Pilgrim’ takes yet another musical bearing as Simpson shows us yet another facet to his talents with some folksy acoustic numbers.
