Scouting for Girls opened with a selection of singles and fan favourites \u2013 one particular stand out was \u2018Posh Girls\u2019 and featured a fun, swing of audience participation during the lyric \u201cboys at school\u201d. The way the guys led this track through the stage, you would have supposed it to be one of their bigger hits but according to a quick google search, it is just a popular album track!<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Olly came on at exactly 8.45pm and the theme around wedding opened the show with the title track of his album \u2018Marry Me\u2019 mashed up with the Elton John classic \u2018I\u2019m Still Standing\u2019. He lit the stage up throughout the opening set. He was dancing around the stage and was energetic and enigmatic. One thing that Olly has always had going for him is he feels a bit like your neighbour whose got a great singing voice \u2013 he\u2019s a cheeky chap. At one point he remarked to the audience \u201cI guess I\u2019m not married yet. Which girl is going to kiss me? Which boy is going to kiss me\u201d. Playful.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There was a touching tribute to Caroline Flack with a rendition of \u2018Sweet Caroline\u2019, swiftly followed by a slower version of his opus \u2018Dear Darlin\u2019. He brought Professor Green out for a remix of \u2018Thinking of Me\u2019 and revealed it has been sat on his laptop unreleased for years!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The show was certainly fun and there is no denying that Olly is showman. The theme of the wedding was very noted throughout \u2013 the only disagreement one might have is how cover-heavy the show was \u2013 there was Watermelon Sugar (Harry Styles) at one point, We Found Love (Rihanna). At one point, he did a medley of wedding tracks, which again, it was fun but after already doing so many covers, it felt a little overdone. Especially when some of his own original tracks were omitted \u2018Up\u2019, \u2018Please Don\u2019t Let Me Go\u2019 and \u2018Busy\u2019.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
