I'm sorry for you and all the people who had booked, especially if they'd booked hotels and expensive transport.
The Matt Cardle Appreciation Thread (Part 56)

I'm sorry for you and all the people who had booked, especially if they'd booked hotels and expensive transport.
I saw him yesterday and he told me about it, however I don't really like to go and spread everything he says to me in person on social media so I will PM anyone interested!
I am one of those people with hotel bills and transport costs...there is surely a great many of us. But I am still going to Glasgow to make the most of it, but it is such a great shame that a Matt show is not the highlight of it.
I would also love to know why he cancelled at such short notice but would he not have said himself if he wanted his fans to know?
I think it must have been for a very good reason....it is a shame that there is a fair amount of tetchiness ....approaching bad feeling on FB. I do feel very sorry though for any fans who flew in from another country.

Very sorry to see all the sad faces around currently - the gig cancellation must have been done with good reason folks. On a more positive note, my has it been wonderful to see him shine on stage 
be it either in person or via the many many recorded videos uploaded.
be it either in person or via the many many recorded videos uploaded.
This is a difficult situation for both sides. I understand that Matt does not want or can not accurately explain the situation on FB, but I also understand the disappointment of fans due to the cancellation of the concert just the day before
So long since I've been on here I'd forgotten my password and how to post a message 
Just wanted to say that I thoroughly enjoyed the 3 gigs of the tour that I managed to get to. I'm loving the new tracks, especially Blind Faith and Desire but I still rate Human Nature as one of the best. I like the tour version of Blue and the inclusion of Slowly with Matt's guitar solo was a highlight for me. Matt really has grown in confidence on stage, the way he interacts more with the audience is a joy to see
It was such a shame that the Glasgow gig was cancelled last night, I know many were travelling to Scotland It would have been a special one for me as the tickets were a pressie. I'd be interested to know why it was cancelled but as long as Matt's health is ok, that's the most important thing.
Hope everyone on here is doing ok

Loved Human Nature from the off but it became a beast of a song on tour
Yes, I love the lyrics and his vocals at the end are insane.
Why isn't his name listed on the line up for the two festivals this month?

Agree about Human Nature and his vocals towards the end - incredible.
I think the festival thing is because he's guest vocalist with the Trevor Horn Band, he perhaps wasn't when they were first booked. The Wickham Festival did add a nice bit about Matt in their 'latest news' section.

Nice to see you posting Linda, hope you're ok, such a shame about Glasgow.

I'm getting there, taking one day at a time. Thank you
Can't wait to find out what Matt is singing, as guest vocalist with Trevor Horn's band, at Wickham this evening. Big songbook to choose from.

Awesome set
The videos of Matt guesting with Trevor Horn are appearing on YT...and they are amazing!
All early eighties stuff...Matt was probably just born! He really does seem able to sing anything..and the crowd were very appreciative!
Really sorry to have missed this: so wish I had gone. The Power of Love was always a great favourite of mine.
Probably added new fans through this appearance ....sure to be!

I went to Wickham Festival yesterday have to say it was a real cracker. The Live and Intimate tour has been so special, and it's been great to hear Matt's new stuff and see him let loose on stage, climbing the speakers at Bury was a real highlight! Plus having Paul and Tom on stage with him, and Marcus with his photographs and supporting Matt here and there (got a LOT of love for Marcus, Matt does pick some incredibly lovely friends). The tour has been pretty emotional too, does anybody do emotion when singing quite like Matt does? Not sure I can think of anyone who wears their heart quite as clearly on their sleeve when performing. Sometimes you just have to hold your breath at the intensity of it all. Roll on 2017, album 4 and the next tour.
Anyway so Wickham yesterday was a completely different kettle of fish. It sounded such an interesting gig it was hard to resist, and I think we got everything we could have hoped for and more! The festival had a great atmosphere, very chilled and absolutely packed. Luckily people were so relaxed that in the half-hour inbetween performances the majority of people wandered away from the stage area, so we were able to get right up to the barrier at the front in the gap before The Trevor Horn Band. The (mostly) Eighties set was just so much fun, both the stuff with and without Matt. I do love watching seasoned musicians on stage, they've just been there, seen it, done it and are just doing it for the love of it. Lol Creme (of 10CC and Godley & Creme) etc is part of the band and there was good natured banter between him and Trevor and they were clearly having a ball.
So one of the absolutely bestest things about the whole evening was that they announced Matt as the singer from Seven Summers. My camera had a malfunction at that point at the thrill of it all. Anyway he came on - did a couple of songs, went off for a couple - came back for another one, went off and came back for a couple more. So he was dotted through the set, which worked really well. All the songs he did were such iconic songs, and it was an absolute thrill to see and hear him perform them with such an incredible bunch of musicians. The reaction from the audience was absolutely fantastic, I think some of them may have been a little sceptical about him, but were won over immediately he started singing The Power of Love. The set closed with Relax - and it was just a bit of a wonderful head spin to be honest. A real honest-to-goodness thrill. I wouldn't mind him doing a few gigs like that a year alongside his other stuff, definitely introduces him to new people, and is a big bunch of happy fun.

So jealous! Looks like a brilliant night, amazing atmosphere, and Matt was on fire!! Love him being introduced as the singer from 7S, by such an industry legend, as Trevor Horn is.
Fantastic vids Moomin, he really looked as though he was having a ball, it must have been a great gig to attend. He's definitely mixing with some top notch musicians of late

Absolutely - and lovely to see that being recognised by a legend like Trevor Horn
Thanks for the write up moomin, it sounds amazing! He really can sing anything. He forever makes me proud and frustrated that more people don't know about him.
Quick post: Loved all the vids from Wickham, what a fantastic set. Matt really did those classic songs justice. The boy did good Saw a couple of posts from people who were there, thought you might like to see.
Posted on Trevor Horn's fb page: Went to the Festival Friday and Saturday. Thought The Stranglers performance could not be topped but the Trevor Horn Band did it for me - quite fantastic - such a brilliant sound and superb talent. Matt Cardle gets a special mention - great voice on some iconic tracks.
From Wickham Festival's visitor posts: So enjoyed our second night at the Wickham Festival - blown away with the Trevor Horn band. Check them out - if you ever get the chance to see them do so - right hand man to Trevor Horn is Lol Creme from 10cc so you got a mix of Yes, 10cc, the Buggles, and (I had no clue) Frankie Goes to Hollywood (Trevor Horn produced their hits) - an amazing set with guest singer Matt Cardle who was top banana!
