Wet Wet Wet: A Magical Evening

Wet Wet Wet performed at Aberdeen’s AECC on Sunday 13th March. A rollercoaster ride of music and mastery, Wet Wet Wet delivered a night of non-stop nostalgia, a journey through a goldmine of 1980 music.

A inter-generational mix of young and old, the audience were united by music that defies age and genre, a magical mix of timelessness. From Sweet Little Mystery to Temptation, an electric atmosphere charged the arena, the audience dancing a  wired waltz in time. A collective smile lit up the night, the feel good vibe almost as audible as the live music.

Marti Pellow impressed with near-perfect vocals, from beginning to end. Indeed the whole performance was superb, from their first song to roars of excited anticipation, and their finale to a chorus of cheers – Love is All Around, a timeless classic that evoked near hysteria.

The support acts were also first class. Ben McKelvey epitomised the spirit of raw energy, with songs that struck a note deep within. Markus Feehily (from Westlife) wowed the audience with his new tracks, then lulled us in the luxury of Westlife classics. A tear rose in my eye at the sheer beauty of You Lift Me Up.

All in all, it was a marvellous and memorable evening. Timeless and tremendous, long may Wet Wet Wet’s music continue.
