Lynne told the audience about her debut album, which she recorded last year at the world famous Muscle Shoals Sound Studio, in Alabama. Artists such as Lynyrd Skynyrd, Bob Dylan, Rolling Stones, Aretha Franklin, and Etta James have all recorded at the studios &#8211; the opportunity to join such names must have been mindblowing.

This time was definitely different. Everyone in the room was there to see just one man, and the love in there was palpable.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Paul came on stage to thunderous applause, many of his fans having been to other concerts on this tour, some of whom he obviously knew quite well. Fans were of all ages at the London show, and from the oldest to the youngest we were all there to have a good time, singing at the tops of our voices, waving our arms, clapping our hands.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_41894\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-41894\" style=\"width: 4608px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" data-attachment-id=\"41894\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/essentiallypop.com\/epop\/2018\/10\/paul-young-proves-that-wherever-he-lays-his-hat-thats-his-home-at-smash-london-palladium-show\/good-16\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/essentiallypop.com\/epop\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/Good-16.jpg?fit=4608%2C3456&amp;ssl=1\" data-orig-size=\"4608,3456\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;5.7&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;FinePix S9400W S9450W&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;1540419191&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;30.4&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;1600&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0.055555555555556&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;1&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"Good 16\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/essentiallypop.com\/epop\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/Good-16.jpg?fit=640%2C480&amp;ssl=1\" class=\"wp-image-41894 size-full\" title=\"Paul Young, London Palladium - Photo credit: Lisa Hafey\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/essentiallypop.com\/epop\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/Good-16.jpg?resize=640%2C480&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Paul Young, London Palladium - Photo credit: Lisa Hafey\" width=\"640\" height=\"480\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-41894\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Paul Young, London Palladium &#8211; Photo credit: Lisa Hafey<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">It was clear Paul was enjoying himself too, and had a lot of banter with his long serving band, &#8220;The Royal Family&#8221; &#8211; appropriate for a gig at the Palladium &#8211; and his backing singers, Polly Pearce and Izzy Warner, who did a great job as the &#8220;Fabulous Rich Tarts&#8221; (a nod to Paul&#8217;s original backing vocalists The Fabulous Wealthy Tarts).<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_41893\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-41893\" style=\"width: 4608px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" data-attachment-id=\"41893\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/essentiallypop.com\/epop\/2018\/10\/paul-young-proves-that-wherever-he-lays-his-hat-thats-his-home-at-smash-london-palladium-show\/good-15\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/essentiallypop.com\/epop\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/Good-15.jpg?fit=4608%2C3456&amp;ssl=1\" data-orig-size=\"4608,3456\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;6.1&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;FinePix S9400W S9450W&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;1540419223&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;67.5&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;1600&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0.066666666666667&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;1&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"Good 15\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/essentiallypop.com\/epop\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/Good-15.jpg?fit=640%2C480&amp;ssl=1\" class=\"wp-image-41893 size-full\" title=\"The Fabulous Rich Tarts, backing vocalists for Paul Young, London Palladium - Photo credit: Lisa Hafey\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/essentiallypop.com\/epop\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/Good-15.jpg?resize=640%2C480&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"The Fabulous Rich Tarts, backing vocalists for Paul Young, London Palladium - Photo credit: Lisa Hafey\" width=\"640\" height=\"480\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-41893\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">The Fabulous Rich Tarts, backing vocalists for Paul Young, London Palladium &#8211; Photo credit: Lisa Hafey<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Paul Young is nothing if not a showman.
