Travelled from Leeds to see Gyptian for 15minutes on stage. Did not mind that he had no live band so he could of given more of his time. Love Gyptian still.

i wouldn't called it a concert more of an appearance. 4 songs is not really a concert. Music was very good and the DJs too

Appearance for Gyptian was only 15 mins and he didn't deliver one full song. Which was disappointing because his voice is very good!

I put no I wouldn't recommend this show because the star of the show Gyptian only came on for 1/2 hour, if that. The price of the ticket was excellent, but he only sang a handful so songs. I thoroughly enjoyed myself except for the non reggae dongs, but everybody is different. The part that really pissed me off was being outside in the rain for a hour, so when I got in the venue I was soaking wet.....not impressed!!! Next tine start your entrance process earlier and allow people inside to avoid this happening again. But all in all, the music, the atmosphere, the lighting(live darkish areas) and crowd was great! Would have loved for Gyptian to be on the stage for about 1 hour at least.
