Treating fans to tracks from his brand new album ‘Love Is for Everyone‘, Newcastle born ANDREW CUSHIN stripped things down for a series of intimate shows across the UK in support of the record, giving these new songs a different approach to the recorded versions. Returning to Barnsley just eight months after his headline performance at Garristonbury, the young Geordie made yet another appearance at The Garrison, performing in front of a packed audience of devoted fans.
Keeping the show’s theme right from the off, Wolverhampton’s JACK FLETCHER kicked off the night with his own stripped-back slot. Known for fronting The Jack Fletcher Band, the Midlands based artist returned to the venue once again, this time as a solo artist. As the room began to quickly fill up, he treated those in attendance to a series of solo material, before rounding off his performance from fellow Wolverhampton act Slade, with their iconic single ‘Cum On Feel the Noize‘ to not only warm up the crowd ahead of the main event, but to give FLETCHER the reception he truly deserved on the night.
Making his grand return to The Garrison, ANDREW CUSHIN was greeted by a thunderous roar from the Barnsley crowd. The young Geordie wasted no time in warming up the voices of the Yorkshire audience with ‘Wor Flags‘ kicked off his acoustic performance, which saw the crowd participating in the “La la-la la-la la” part before launching into a slew of ‘Love Is For Everyone‘ songs, beginning with ‘No More Shadows‘.
Thanking the audience for their support on the recently released record, urging his fans to give it one last push for a potential top 10 chart position, his wishes were clearly granted by the looks of those in attendance who were seen walking around with either a vinyl or CD in their possession. Three further tracks from the record soon followed, before giving the crowd an opportunity to have their voices heard once again with ‘It’s Coming Round Again‘.
The emotional ‘Where’s My Family Gone‘ soon followed, before ending his short but sweet performance with two more tracks from his new album, those being ‘Standing By My Side‘ and the title track ‘Love Is For Everyone‘ to round off a spectacular return to Barnsley
