Review: Olly Murs at Capital FM Arena

Olly burst on to the stage with Did You Miss Me? from his fourth and latest album Never Been Better. Gyrating his way through a number of his biggest hits and working up a sweat, he teased the crowd that there simply wasn’t time to fit in some of his most popular songs such as Heart Skips a Beat and Dear Darlin’. He was, of course, just teasing us.

Highlights included Seasons, Heart Skips a Beat and an emotional performance of Dear Darlin’. The song was performed on a second stage, giving fans at the back a decent view of their idol. Olly originally wrote the song about an ex-girlfriend but tells the crowd it now has a whole different meaning since it was played at the funeral of a friend’s mum who died of cancer.

Olly then heads back to the main stage where he takes on a version of Uptown Funk. Troublemaker is saved until last, before the encore.

After singing, dancing and entertaining the crowd for two hours - one thing is certain - fans certainly get what they came for.
