The Script frontman Danny O'Donoghue gets close to fans at Perth Arena
DUBLIN trio The Script descended on Perth Arena last night to open their biggest Australian tour to-date in front of a screaming crowd.
Captivating frontman Danny O’Donoghue, who delivered an unfaltering vocal performance, was joined by energetic bandmates Mark Sheehan, whose voice also wowed, and Glen Power to perform a show that included popular Together We Cry, Breakeven and Science and Faith.
Two years since the group was last in town, O’Donoghue expressed his thanks and amazement at the turn out before launching into The Man Who Can’t Be Moved, with the crowd singing every word and even carrying the song in parts.
“That there is the reason we come to Perth,” O’Donoghue said grinning.
Following the phenomenal reaction to the fan favourite, The Script felt safe to perform their new song If You Could See Me Now from their latest album #3, before they worked their way through Before The Worst, If You Ever Come Back and Talk You Down.
After posing for a photo wearing Australian memorabilia including cork hats and with beers in hand, Sheehan took a quick survey of the crowd to see who was guilty of ever drinking too much and doing something regrettable on their mobile phone.
With that, O’Donoghue took a phone from a fan and dialled a lucky lad named Todd, who was kept on the line in the frontman’s hand while he sang Nothing.
The band stripped it back for a rendition of I’m Yours, during which even drummer Power picked up an acoustic guitar, and Six Degrees of Separation.
The Script wrapped up the evening with a powerful performance of Hall of Fame, part of a two-song encore, which sent the crowd into a frenzy.
“Thank you for such an incredible night - the first night of our Australian tour,” O’Donoghue said before disappearing from the stage.
The Script will next perform in Melbourne on Saturday before playing shows in Sydney and Brisbane.
