Live Review: Dean Lewis – Bush Hall, London 25.03.2024
Dean, Dean, DEAN or “DEANO” for some of the enthusiastic London fans chanting his name as he came up on stage to which Dean responded, “What’s up London!”.

In March this year Paolo Nutini announced a show in Bristol for June and I was left a little confused for the simple reason, where has he been, and why hasn’t he announced more shows? You may think, it’s not strange at all, but it has been 7 years since Paolo last performed in London …
