Craig wows home town crowd
"CAN we get a rewind because
he was amazing!"
That was the buzz from
crowds pouring out of
Southampton Guildhall on
Saturday after witnessing one
of the city's own at his best.
R'n'B star Craig David
returned to his roots - and it
was a homecoming to be proud
of.
Kicking off
to a sell-out
crowd with
smash hit
Hot Stuff,
C r a i g ,
exploded on
to the stage
l o o k i n g
slicker than
ever in his
white suit
and dark
shades.
Within seconds the place was
jumping as Craig and his band
injected the Guildhall with
attitude.
Craig, pictured at a previous
show, then delved into his
back catalogue to keep the
energetic vibe with his earlier
hits What's Your Flava? and
7 Days.
That set the mood for the rest
of night, with fans hearing
tracks from his latest album
Trust Me for the first time live.
With his beaming smile the
ex-Bellemoor School pupil told
the crowd how happy he was
to be back home and on the
stage where he saw his first
ever gig.
Craig finished his show with
an encore of Fill Me In.
Hayley Craddock, 21, from
Sholing, said: "He was amazing
live, even better than
Kanye West.
