Tom McRae played the second night of his sell-out King Tuts gig to a crowd in awe of his songs and all round stage prescence. The on-stage banter worked well and the crowd interaction was hilarious at times and bizarre at other times as one fan inexplixcably shouted `Cheryl Cole has dumped Ashley` or as one member of the audience suggested selling `Tom-Doms` as Tom mused over future merchandise ideas.
Tonight, Though was obviously about the music and Tom didnt disapoint his hardcore fans (Despite warning them of a throat problem at the start) Tom and his backing band were flawless as they played epic music to the kind of sound that has left King Tuts celebrating 20 years of success this month. Highlight of the night had to be `Dose Me Up` which involved a harmonized sing-a-long from a host of happy punters. He was unlikely to win over any new fans but on this performance, He gave the fans what they wanted and they all left the intimate surroundings of King Tuts wanting more despite the fact a majority would have already been on their way home for the second night in a row with McCraes dulcet tones ringing in their ears.
