The Feeling, Gig Review. Echo Arena, Liverpool.

Liverpool Sound and Vision Rating * * * *

Opening up for legends might be the finest double edged sword possible, not so much a weapon of Damocles, the weight of the movement swaying precariously and with a semi inclination towards amusement, but one that comes out of the lake held aloft by a woman with excellent lung capacity and with all the drama of Camelot at her disposal; The Feeling may not have been anointed Kings of Pop in Liverpool for the night but they did a damn marvellous job of opening for the regal elect inside the Echo Arena.

The Feeling, Album Review.

Liverpool Sound and Vision Rating * * * *

It is always good to find that a group that have managed to worm their way into your collection, that have produced eloquently driven pop songs and the odd anthem pleaser, still retain the power to bring about the sentiment of beauty and the sensation of enjoyment four albums down the line, it should come as no surprise though when that band is The Feeling.

The Feeling, Boy Cried Wolf. Album Review.

Liverpool Sound and Vision Rating * * * *

It might be an easy and somewhat flippant statement to suggest that you know exactly what you are going to get when listening to the new album from The Feeling.  Not much really changes for the band, the songs are always pleasant enough, they strike the right balance between being accessible to all ages and to even those with the extremist of music tastes, should they want to try something different and away from their comfort zone that is, and between looked on as, to quote many, the fairly vulgar term of kitsch. Boy Cried Wolf though is something more.

The Feeling, Gig Review. Civic Hall, Wolverhampton.

Originally published by The Birmingham Mail. November 2008.

The Feeling opened with I Thought It Was Over and Fill My Little World, followed by Never Be Lonely, from the album Twelve Stops and Home for which frontman Fan Gillespie Sells split the crowd in half to help with the vocals.

There is always an element of dread when a band resorts to audience participation so early but with The Feeling it not only worked but set the standard for future gigs.
