Plan B

Anyone been to see Plan B on his current two week tour?

I'm off tonight to see him at the LG Arena, really looking forward to it. It's billed as songs from Strickland Banks and Ill Manors, truly hoping it's more of the latter. I find SB passable but not great, Ill Manors on the other hand was a masterpiece album last year overlooked by many.

Also has support by Rudimental who are growing on me quickly and Labrinth who I sadly can not stand.

Just wondering if anyone has been on the current tour and their thoughts on it.

EDIT: Not Plan B but from the support act Rudimental, an absolute favorite song of mine from last year, never fails to lift me up and put me in the best mood...

And a couple from Ill Manors...

And these are the only Strickland Banks tracks I really like...

No one else been then

Just got back, Plan B was phenomenal, the guy is massively underrated and it's such a shame, too many people see him as just another white rapper, the guy is extremey talented.

Rudimental were also amazing, already booked tickets for their Birmingham show in April, they are the group to watch for me this year.

Labrinth...well, what can I say, he's as **** live as he is on videos.

How is he underrated, he's sold in well excess of 1 million + albums? I would think that's a sign of not being underrated by people!

Talking more about day to day experience when speaking with folks, no one seems to know who he is and those who do have already dismissed him without really actually listening to his music.

"Who Needs Actions When You Got Words"...immense album, a few poorer tracks such as Mama but should be in any music fan's collection.

Remember when I first saw the video for "No Good"...started watching thinking it was weak he took the hook from Prodigy, by the end of the song I knew he was someone to watch out for.

Can not wait for a new album.
