GIG REVIEW: Example at Jazz Café, London

Last Thursday night at the world-famous Jazz Café saw UK rapper, Example, take to the stage in what was an exclusive free gig for fans.

Example, accompanied by his DJ and two back-up singers (who also doubled up as guitarists), performed a number of tracks both old and new. The big ones for the night were 'Watch The Sun Come Up' and his top ten hit, 'Won't Go Quietly'. Admittedly, it took a while for the show to get into the swing of things, but by about the third track, he almost definitely had the audience in the palm of his hands. Performance wise, no-one can say Example doesn't know how to get a crowd going; there wasn't a single moment where everyone wasn't jumping around and enjoying the good atmosphere!

Although not a ram-packed affair, the gig, which lasted nearly an hour, definitely surpassed all expectations. Following the show and prospect of a forthcoming single, it looks as though Example is one to look out for this coming Summer.
