Thomas Dolby, Gig Review. Union Chapel, London.

Liverpool Sound and Vision Rating * * * * *

There are very few truly unique entities in the world today, everything in the end has it’s time and yet something comes along in which carries on the flame. Not so with the extremely talented, the musical proficiency and singularly matchless Thomas Dolby. Add into a night of inventiveness, the shadowy, almost gothic–like structure and feel of the Union Chapel in Islington and the exceptional film that accompanied the evening and it was quite possibly the finest and most creative night of 2013.

Thomas Dolby, Map Of The Floating City. Album Review.

L.S Media Rating **** Stars

Thomas Dolby has never really been a man who let convention get in the way of anything he wanted to achieve or put out for his fans to take part in.  From the start of the new wave of keyboard and synthesised music explosion Thomas Dolby was there messing around with the rules and defying expectation with ground breaking music such as She Blinded Me With Science and the 1984 hit Hyperactive, both these songs still sounding deliciously odd but with a certain wonderment to them.

LS. Media Rating ****

It may have been the best part of  two decades since Thomas Dolby had played a live set in the city, however the affection and adoration he still holds within his fan base has never diminished.  This was in evidence as he came out on stage  at the Stanley Theatre to a genuine rapturous applause that was full of warmth  and a desire to hear some of the best loved and quirky music to have been  committed for posterity.
