This is such a blast from the past! A PROPER performance along with an audience, not on their fucking phones, or barely paying any attention to the band in front of them. Astley looks fantastic, and sounds better, whilst The Blossoms owned it, and a special shoutout to the drummer who looked so thrilled. Joy personified!

A testament to what a bit of integrity can achieve. He has the talent, he then put in effort and passion and look. He had the whole crowd in his hand!

It's just fantastic to hear these brilliant songs being played live by people who obviously love and respect the music. The fact that Rick and Blossoms are from the Manchester area is the cherry on top.

These songs need a true troubadour to make them soar.... Rick Astley is that type of great artist. He was arguably the best thing at this year's Glastonbury. Sensational.

You wouldn’t have imagined this but Rick and the Blossoms absolutely kill it. He is an absolute showman we saw him here in Oz with aha and it was a brilliant night.
