Joshua Raaadin

Guess who we saw at the weekend?! Not that it takes much guess work as it was mentioned in a previous post and in the title! But.... JOSHUA RAADIN!!! <3 It was SO amazing! 


The drive up to Birmingham was really easy and then we parked and made our way to the O2 Academy Birmingham, got the Priority queue as I am with O2 (score) but that took an hour and then we finally got let in and the cash machine was broken! Not good as this meant we had £13 between 3 of us!! And it was a CASH ONLY bar. Two Diet Cokes and a Red Bull - £9!! Mental, you know we made them last!


We were in a pretty good spot and the warm up act was a good lady by the name of Rosi Golan who had a beautiful voice - here is a little snippet:

After she had finished we were in a prime position, could see perfectly and then we could hear a group of guys behind us plotting to get in front of us. Literally ONE person closer and they were like 8 inches taller than us. That's just rude! Well they DID it and COMPLETELY blocked my view, so obviously I was pissed, and then proceeded to talk about how they had never heard of Joshua Radin, couldn't remember his name the other day when someone asked who they were going to see etc and so I was like 'f**k this' and proceeded to stand with my elbow DIGGING into the guys back until he left. Score. Won that round. Then Joshua fiiiiinally came on stage and they kept talking!! So I simply said 'guuuys, shut up!' and this guy looked at me like I had just kicked his dog 'whaat?!' 'be quiet!' and they proceeded to whisper and give me daggers for the whole first song (whilst I was thinking, oh sh*t, perhaps a 'please be quiet' would have gone down better) but then they did shut up for most of the rest of it, despite the occasional glare in my direction, and Joshua was AMAZING.


Seriously I have SO many videos of this on my YouTube channel but I'll only post a few, including some new songs. It was just perfection. 


The Rock and the Tide:

Brand New Day:

New Song - I'm sorry I don't remember the name!

New song - Where We Belong:

It was just perfection, so worth all the hassle, long drive, getting home at 1am, it was wonderful! And a much better venue that when we saw him at Thekla in Bristol as this was a more open room and yet a more intimate feel. Ooooh how I love him! Hope you enjoy, and as I said, more videos can be found on my YouTube channel if you can't get enough!


Back soon,
