David Kitt performed at, Clwb Ifor Bach in Cardiff, on the 31 st of March to showcase his ninth studio album, ‘Idiot Check.’
But before his indie set, support act, Ivan Moult, whose genre is folk, played songs from his 4 th coming album. This is set to be released on the 26th of May. His set list started with “Written On The Wall” which set the tone, as very chilled, and the atmosphere as relaxed.
And as he continued to sing, “Tell Me When” and “Right Now” the relaxed atmosphere continued, which worked well as the song was stripped back with just vocals and guitar. He then finished on “Out Of Time” which he joked ‘hahaha very well timed’ before thanking the crowd and leaving the stage.
David then came to the stage and his set began. The crowd was unfortunately quite small but that didn’t affect David as he joked about it saying, “I was here around 20 years ago, but there were about 20x more of you!” And he continued to start his set with ‘Balances’, ‘Make It Mine’, and ‘Every Little Drop’. His vocals were great, and he put such emphasise on every lyric, which showed how important his songs meant to him.
He then played “Wexford Strawberries” and played his most played song on Spotify, ‘It’s Yours”, and looked up to the crowd and said, “Well looks like not a lot of my listeners are from Cardiff…” But continued, nevertheless.
‘Wishing Well’, ‘All Folly’, ‘Still Don’t know’ and ‘Step Outside In The Morning’ all filled the room as the crowd swayed to the soothing music. It was a really chilled evening which I enjoyed.
And out of all his songs, my favourite was the one he played last. This was called, “There Will Always Be This Love”. It was a little more upbeat and it was a fun song to end on. He then thanked the audience for coming and wished us a good rest of our nights.
I think he worked well on stage with all the instrument and music changes, and like I mentioned his voice was great. He could have been a little chattier with the audience but overall, it was a good night, and his performance went smoothly.
You can catch him on his tour all over the UK, from Bristol, to Belfast, to London to Edinburgh. So go and get tickets because, it has just begun!
