My first time seeing Tom Odell love and it was one of the best shows I have ever seen. Even though I love the harder-driving arrangements of his work with bands and backup, I loved that this show was completely stripped down to him and his piano for virtually all of it. It made things so much more intimate and personal (as did the venue, Thalia Hall, which had a lot of character and great acoustics). I feel really privileged to have experienced that level of pure, soaring talent. I can’t wait to see him again.

I was expecting Tom to be with his band but there were just the two of them. He is an amazing pianist and the concert showcased his piano playing and song writing. I have seen Tom with his band before and this concert felt different, it was Tom ‘ in the raw’. I don’t think everyone appreciated this as though he played a selection of music he wasn’t banging out his greatest hits, they were interspersed with music that at times was quite sombre. I loved it and much of the crowd loved it too, I hope his tour is a great success as this ‘stripped back’ Tom is Tom at his best.

Well I've been a Tom fan for over 10 years, but his show last night at the Commodore was very disappointing. It should have been advertised as An Evening With Tom Odell, or Unplugged - the band were not there, just him and Max, who backs him up on several instruments. The first hour included dirge-like renditions, noth8ng upbeat or uplifting - and hey, at the Commodore, you hope for something more lively! Tom, were you 'on something'? Worrying...we left after an hour.
