Stepping out centre-stage onto a scenery of palm trees and glistening lights, the audience could have easily been partying at a DJ set at an Ibiza poolside. But this was the just beginning of Craig David's entertaining Hold That Thought show at Manchester's mammoth AO Arena.
A crowd of adoring fans watched on as the singer, whose career has spanned an impressive two decades, performed a catalogue of his greatest hits on Saturday night. A mix of generations turned out in their thousands - it's no surprise that he has such wide appeal, as more than twenty years on from his first album, released in 2000, David has most certainly still got it.
In what felt like a Re-rewind to the pre-millennium world, he churned out performances to the likes of anthems Seven Days - which heard the arena break out into the hugest roar - Fill Me In and Giving up On You. His vocals were extremely slick and polished with vocal runs quite like no other while the production, especially for a huge arena, was epic.
