London Grammar, 02 Academy, Birmingham, 16th February.

It was over a year ago I first stumbled across London Grammar on Youtube - it was actually a remix of their song 'Hey Now' - which, still sounds amazing. I downloaded their EP not long after and was even more impressed. Since then they've had quite a lot of success, most notably with their song Strong.

I tried to get tickets for a gig back in October but it had sold out, so I made sure I purchased early days for the tour this time round.

They were supported by Khushi and Say Lou Lou -

both who were pretty good, particularly Khushi, who I'd not heard of at all before..

But as expected London Grammar really wowed, Hannah especially - her vocals were even more stunning live, particularly on tracks such as Metal and Dust and Strong. I think the whole crowd were truly mesmerised by her, every girl probably wishing they were her and every guy pretty much falling in love with her. I would totally recommend anyone giving them a try, if you're a fan of acts like The XX, then you'll probably love them too.
