To put it very simply, I heart Nick Cave. To say that I was very excited at the prospect of seeing him live for the first time is clearly an understatement. As Nick Cave and co swagger onto the stage, it’s obvious by the crowd reaction why everyone is in love with this man. A brown pin-striped suit clad, unbuttoned Mr Cave comes on and immediately starts rocking the main stage. 

Get It On is raw and fuzzy, powerfully charged as a moustachioed Nick Cave prances around stage, his energy transferring to the audience who lap up every second of attention received. Other numbers include No Pussy Blues and another favourite of mine (yes, I have many of those), Honey Bee (Let’s Fly to Mars). A rip roaring set, Nick Cave is certainly an onstage presence. The energy this gentleman exudes is one all should be envious of, the blinding showman that he is. One thing Mr Cave – when are we flying to Mars?
