As the night drew to a close on the second evening of Bristol Sounds 2022, it was clear that Paolo Nutini’s pencil certainly was full of lead as the 35-year-old Scot had the audience like putty in his hands during his set.
Taking place at the Lloyds Amphitheatre, Nutini, who is currently promoting his fourth studio album ‘Last Night in the Bittersweet’ (dropping on 1 July) entertained the crowd with deep, almost raspy vocals, coupled with enviable guitar playing skills.
Before he descended to the stage however, the support act came in the shape of fellow Scot, Brooke Combe, who played a set of her original songs, followed by a cover of the Arctic Monkeys’ 'Why’d You Only Call Me When You’re High?’; something which came as a particular delight to the crowd.
