WoW! I never though I would enjoy meself so much as I did last night at a G4 concert! Now I will listen to anything music-wise, but I went with a slightly closed mind to hearing a classical re-hash of some popular covers. I came out eyes wide and looking for the albums!

First up was an excellent offering from relativly new trio Triniti ( website ). Sharon, Eve and Laura looked a bit overwhelmed, possibly scared at the the number of fans who were already sat waiting to hear them perform, and I might even go as far to say that if I went into the Brighton Centre not knowing anything, could easily compare them to three girls from a school choir nervously playing forthe first time.

Then they open their mouths... a beautiful Irish accent, and one that could melt even the hardest of rockers. I was slightly concerned that one of the three (it was either Laura or Sharon, which ever it was was wearing the red dress last night) sounded very slightly off key, although I am no music master, and have little musical talant... I prefer being a radio DJ. If it was, I would put my money on it being due to a faulty earpiece (?) because by the time we hit their a cappella offering the harmony was perfect and the voices complemented each other so well!

This is one album I will be getting without listening to any samples on the internet...

After the break came the main act. Jon, Ben, Mike and Matt have certainly done well out of the X-Factor, and their talant justifys their position in the music world. New arrangements of old favourites were very well received, the power of Barcelona and the audience sing-a-long that was La Donna E Mobile made my night, although for me the most powerful and poiniant of the lot was the cover of Bohemian Rhapsody, which I will remember for a long time.

Partly away from the music, the quartet made their way into the crowd towards the end of the concert... which was once the security team had to remove a couple and a weapon (looked like a smash up chair to me), although unfortunatly the security teams had their work cut out keeping the enthusiastic female (and some male) fans from throwing themselves at them!

Away from the music itself, Mike did not seem to be completly with it tonight. At times I thought he came across as distracted, until he came into his own with solo offerings. Jon and Ben were more settled, enjoying the evening and doing something they so obviously love. Matt was the star of the night for me however, and throughout the show I could not help comparing him to the film The Full Monty, where he reminded me of Dave, played by Mark Addy. He was getting into the show and his solo highlight singing Tom Jones classic "It ain't unusual" was certainly different.

All in all, if you can get tickets GO GO GO!
