Charlotte Church's Late Night Pop Dungeon

[VoR]

I saw our Charl on her Late Night Pop Dungeon tour last night and it was excellent.

It's basically Charlotte and her band covering a variety of pop/rock classics with a big party atmosphere. She was in fabulous voice and even threw in a bit of opera. Her cover of Robyn's With Every Heartbeat was genuinely quite a SPIRITUAL EXPERIENCE as she mixed it with the Flower Duet and ended it with a full on preaching session.

Well worth seeing if she comes to your town!

Was it all covers? I'd love to hear her do Glitterbombed live

Yeah it was all covers.

It really was spectacular. Her husband/boyfriend on guitar is quite a dish too, although I was standing directly to the left of him so I did get a few full on shots of his combover

That's quite the setlist

She's here next week, but I'm meant to be seeing Cheddar Gorgeous instead

 

[FetchFugly]

That sounds amazing, though isn't this meant to be the farewell tour?

Yes, she’s been doing this Pop Dungeon thing for a few years and she seems to be wrapping it up, though I wouldn’t be at all surprised if she revived it in a few years.
