I’ll preface this by saying that I wouldn’t class myself as a MASSIVE Hozier fan. I liked his first album and I’ve dabbled in his work since. I like him but wouldn’t go out of my way to see him.

I ended up at the Glasgow gig last night through circumstance.

What a performance. Honestly, the guy blew me away with his singing. I always have doubts that artists can reproduce live on stage. But this guy is insanely talented, what a voice.

He looked like he really enjoyed himself too.

This was the first time I had heard “abstract” too and when it started, there were people around me getting super emotional and I was reliably informed by my better half that he doesn’t really play that song too often because it’s super sad. And it was. I listened to it again this morning and it’s very powerful. Loved it.

Anyway, I just wanted to say that I’m now a proper fan of this man - it was an awesome performance! Shout out to his band too, great artists.
