Hi Dave, really glad you enjoyed the show. I was there too and it was fabulous wasn't it. I was surprised it wasn't a sell out like a lot of his shows, Harlow for example, and wondered what marketing strategy that theatre had compared to other theatres.

Thanks! Joe really is a superb performer. With his talent he should be filling places more than he did at the Victoria, however the Victoria is not the nicest Theatre I've been to so as long as he's filling the others then all's well. (having said that, the crowd that was there were great!!)

I've always liked him since I saw him on X-Factor five years ago and a friend of mine asked me If I wanted to go and see him. I'm so pleased I did, Joe is such a likeable lad, I really hope things work out well for him.

Thanks for your review Dave. So glad you enjoyed the show! What was your favourite moment?


I don't think you can really compare those two venues, the Harlow Playhouse (400) is much smaller venue than the Victoria Theatre (1500).

Hi Dave, so pleased you enjoyed the show I've seen 4 so far and Joe's getting better and better with each one. He's absolutely loving being out on the road with his band and he's changing things up a bit with each show so I hope you can make it to another one nearby like Wakefield or Burnley

He didn't do a meet and greet after Halifax but he does them quite often after the show and always makes time for everyone

In the meantime here's our playlist of videos from Halifax, hope you enjoy them http://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLiG3I7LFo_2BpfbYjiEbM-X4L2NK86YsG

Edit: Joe's doing some acoustic shows too although in don't think there are any of those in West Yorkshire (Milton Keynes is the next one I know of)

Hopefully this is a clicky link for the Halifax playlist

I've posted most of those to my facebook page, thanks for the link!

We were on the left hand side in the fifth row from the front. I think you can actually hear my partner singing in the section where the audience sings along

You're welcome I think you were sitting just behind us

I'm just sitting in a pub near the Customs House in between Joe's matinee and evening shows Someone mentioned in the interval this afternoon that the Wakefield gig is nearly sold out so if you're thinking of going there are a few single seats in the stalls and they've just opened the upper circle

And come and say hi if you make it, there's lots of us all meet up and everyone's really friendly

Brilliant review for the Peterborough show

That's a great review

Three fabulous sold out shows on Saturday and Sunday Joe met everyone afterwards on the Sunday for photos etc. and it looked from the queue to see him as if the entire audience was waiting for him.

Now you see, I wasn't going to go to the next one this Saturday because I had work to do but ..............erm.............oh.... someone seems to have got me another ticket!....

@tommasoradice1@tommasoradice @akinwandedavies @efeandreefeturi After a brief chat with @Joe McElderry and @subfrantic regarding upcoming tour videos .This guy went straight to business brilliant on stage I must say #soundcheck#itson#relaativemotionmedia#nicefellow#humbled

Lovely message - and tour videos

Nice to see Joe (and Billy) on Pointless today! I know it is a repeat - of a repeat but I like seeing his smiley face. He got a B in his GCSE English - I failed my O-Level English Lit!

I watch Pointless and have it on 'series link' so as not to miss any. I haven't seen Joe on it before so glad I've caught it this time

@joemcelderry91 great to see you again last night. Congratulations on everything you've achieved in the past 5 years. Best wishes to you.

@RhydianMusic thanks rhydian!! Lovely to see you and same to you )) xxx

Nice to see some mutual respect

Aw what lovely tweets
I was really impressed with Rhydian last night - had never heard him live before and he was quite incredible. He actually made me like a song I've always previously hated with a passion!

Joe was fantastic as well. Really proud of him, he was the only one in the line-up to get the audience actively engaged and they really livened up. Made 2 very good song choices: E Penso A Te, which showed off his vocal skill really well:

and then Don't Stop Believing ... & I love that hunney_t has captured the audience on their feet and joining in at around 2:22

And it was clear Matt Johnson adores Joe. He called him back for a selfie with them and the audience, which is captured really well in this vid

Morning each! Thanks for the links Michelle, it was a really enjoyable concert!

Lots of lovely tweets last night about Joe's latest SetYourSoulAlive tour concert and I think vids are coming.

See Joe's Official Website for details and tickets. This tour is fabulous!!

Have a good weekend everyone!

Joe attended and performed an hour and a half set with his band at the Soldiering On Awards at the Park Plaza last night. A lot of his fellow 'The Jump' contestants were there and at the end of his set Joe got Darren Gough up on stage to sing The Climb with him - the result is hilarious

http://youtu.be/h_qt3a9VIEw?a

That was so funny! And I am glad to see that Joe has changed his hair style. I didn't like the shaven sides + quiff look!

so glad the tour is going well! me and my friend faria262 are hoping to see joe in basingstoke! can't wait!!!

Joe's had a few days rest in sunny Marbella lucky thing and now off goes the Set Your Soul Alive tour again this weekend.


http://joemcelderryofficial.com/tour-dates/

Two wonderful concerts this last weekend, one with the full band and the other acoustic. The audiences loved him - standing ovations, cheering and brilliant atmosphere! Joe is such a talented songwriter as well as brilliant vocalist. Love his songs!

Love his songs too - it struck me the other day that a good percentage of his tour has been showcasing his song writing talents: What Have I Done, Mayday, World Through Your Eyes, Set Your Soul Alive, Rescue Us, Memory of You. Wow and all this from someone who is still only 22 incredibly talented. Can't wait to hear more of his new stuff as the tour goes along

The show on Sunday night was among my favourites so far and the fact that it was in my home town made it that much more special. Was another sold out show too - he really did us fans proud. Winning over a typically tough-to-please audience again - heard so many say they'd be booking further shows. The SYSA tour is proving a smash

Know I'm gushing again but I'm just so proud of him - so wonderful hearing new fans falling for the magic of that voice once heard live, totally hooked!

Looking forward to something a bit different this weekend with the Movies and Musicals shows in Scotland. Sounds like a great line-up of vocalists again.
and looks like Joe's top of the bill
