I was excited to attend the world premier of Mary, Queen of Scots as part of Glasgow’s West End Festival.
The performance surpassed all expectations – the atmosphere and the emotion throughout the entire evening was incredible.
The evening began with Nick’s support act, the beguiling Shilpa Ray. She squeezed her harmonium as if she were nursing a punctured lung and her singing morphed between melody and anguished wailing. She was frothing at the mouth and tears welled up in her eyes.
