Review 1 for Bonnie Prince Billy
A true master of his art.

Favourite moment: For one song towards the end, they turned off the mikes - that was lovely. You could hear a pin drop, the audience attention was rapt. @
Setlist: A mix from Worfroy goes to Town and the Wonder Show of the World. @
Opening act(s): Susanna did some lovely rearrangements of well-known songs, including Phil Lynott's Jailbreak, and Kiss's Crazy Night. Very enjoyable. @

It was a fantastic gig. Different vibe and tempo to last year in Whelans, but great nevertheless. Every word he sings is so clear, he has excellent diction and enunciation so it is easy to catch all the words of the songs. His lyrics are funny and wry too. The vocal harmonies are amazing, just beautiful. If you close your eyes while listening to the singing, you get transported away! And, despite some silly heckling from the audience, there is nothing Bonnie Prince Billy couldn't handle. Please bring him back again next year.

I was delighted to get the chance to see Bonnie Prince Billy- I was home on holidays and normally when I check out gigs like this they happen a few days before or after my holiday and so i miss them- but for once this one was happening at a time when I could actually go and see it- RESULT!!!
I've been a fan of Billy's for a while now but hadnt got the chance to see any of his stuff as the Cairo Gang- except for some stuff on the internet- but the concert was absolutely brilliant.
The support act- I couldnt get their name were pretty good- although their sound wasnt overly clear but i particularly liked the fact that Billy came on and performed on their last song with them. He then kept the singer and drummer/percusionist on for his gig- which to be honest disappointed me a little as i really like his stripped back sound when it's just him and a the cairo gang, but i guess for the size of the venue it was the right call. In any case they all knitted together really well and the concert was excellent.
I've always felt that people throw the tag 'genius' around far too much- mainly to people who just dont deserve it- but in my opinion this guy is genuinely a genius. As well as really knowing how to structure a melody and song his lyrics are funny, poignant and dark, sometimes all at the same time. His seeming humility and general down-to-earthiness only adds to his appeal. Would recommend going to his gigs to anybody and cant wait for the next chance to catch him live. Even my girlfriend, who would normally complain when i put his stuff on in the car has come away a fan- the only problem is she's now 'borrowed' my complete bonnie prince billy back-catalogue!!!

This was the first time I've seen him live. I heard so much about his live performances and have to say every bit was true. The guy is amazing. From the musical point of view he's a genius and a poet, from the show/performance point of view the guy know how to be a frontman without leaving his band in the shadow.
Whelan's once again is that small little place which allows to connect with some artists in the best way possible.

Probably my tenth time seeing him. As always very impressive, but I think he didnt ever really get going the other night.

Great gig!! I've seen him play a few times now, and hearing him sing live is still amazing.

This was like a circus of music and Will was the ring leader, eye shadow and all.

Really good gig. Started off with very good support act. First time I have seen BPB and really impressed. Great songs, fantastic band and some amazing vocals. Great atmosphere at the gig with good interraction between band and crowd.
Strongly recommend to anyone thinking if going tonight if there are still tickets available.
