BEWDLEY superstar Becky Hill’s return to The Marrs Bar in Worcester after 16 years sent fans into ‘Overdrive’ in a spectacularly intimate set.
An incredibly lucky crowd of just a few hundred people were treated to a show from the two-time Brit award winner while getting the chance to see behind the star in a way few fans have been able to before.
The appearance at the Marrs Bar marked ”a full circle” moment for the chart-topping artist, who first performed at the venue aged 16.
She returned armed with a catalogue of hits she could fire at the crowd and send them into a frenzy.
From the first note of ‘Crazy What Love Can Do’ the audience was in a trance as they soaked in every second of this ‘chance of a lifetime’ experience.
Gecko (Overdrive), my personal favourite Becky Hill song, was a definite highlight of the evening.
‘Disconnect’ and ‘Lose Control’ were particularly well received, while ‘‘My Heart Goes’ got everyone in the building singing ‘La Di Da’ in unison.
We were also allowed to hear an unreleased track, ‘What Do I Have To Do’ – it’s dropping on Friday and believe me, you’re in for a treat.
I always knew Becky Hill was a fantastic singer, but boy did her vocals shine at the Marrs Bar- seeing her live has made me realise there aren’t many singers in the world with a better range than Becky.
About half way into her big return to The Marrs Bar, Hill said to the crowd ‘what a lovely gig, how intimate’- and I couldn’t agree more.
You could tell she was having a blast interacting and chatting with her fans in a way that must be impossible in the big arena tours she’s now used to.
It was a real privilege to look past international superstar Becky Hill and just get the chance to hang out and have a laugh with Becky from Bewdley.
She was humble, charming and hilarious, and the crowd loved how much attention she paid them.
The laughs started when Becky helped one of her fans find ‘Alan from Cheltenham’ out within the crowd.
She also congratulated a happy couple who were getting married at West Midlands Safari Park later this year- sadly, Becky is on holiday and so won’t be able to attend the big day.
But my favourite part of the evening was when a super fan begged her to perform ‘Sunrise in The East’ a few times, which was not on her set list.
But not one to let her fans down; she made the man’s night by singing his favourite song ‘a Capella.’
Millions of people have seen Becky Hill take the stage live in recent years, but if I only get to see her once, I’m immensely grateful that it was at The Marrs Bar- her blend of remarkable vocals catchy beats and humble hilariousness allowed me to really ‘Disconnect’.
Becky Hill’s appearance at The Marrs Bar was part of Everywhere At Once, a nationwide celebration of grassroots music venues, powered by The National Lottery.
