THEIR tour has sold out across the globe and it was easy to see why when The Script took to the stage at the ECHO Arena on Saturday.
The trio, Danny O’Donoghue, Mark Sheehan and Glen Power, raised the roof when they showcased songs from their third album, aptly titled #3.
The audience fizzed with excitement as the Irish alternative rock band delighted fans with hits including Hall Of Fame, Six Degrees of Separation and If You Could See Me Now.
But it was performances from their earlier albums which really captivated the audience.
Breakeven, The Man Who Can’t Be Moved and For The First Time raised the entire audience to their feet as they sang along to the band’s best-loved hits.
The Script, who are arguably one of the biggest bands to come out of Ireland, have enjoyed incredible success since the release of their first album four years ago.
Their UK arena tour sold out in just under a week and their last album spent five weeks in the top ten.
But surprisingly, the trio, who have shifted more than four million albums, appeared in awe of the reception from the Liverpool audience who screamed every time lead vocalist O’Donoghue so much as moved a muscle.
O’Donoghue, who has reached a new level of fame after his appearance as a judge on The Voice, clearly received the most of the attention but Sheehan is a force on stage too with outstanding guitar skills.
If you haven’t seen The Script live then you really are missing out.
The charismatic Irishmen put on a flawless show and had a great interaction with the crowd throughout.
The band even paid homage to the Beatles when they donned colourful military jackets and sang She Loves You – a nice touch which was appreciated if the booming applause was anything to go by.
The staging was simple but their stage presence more than made up for that and the sea of fans offered up a surprisingly mixed cross section of generations, proving that The Script have captured the hearts of many.
As the glitter fell from the ceiling and the lights faded, the Echo was filled with a united feeling that we all had witnessed something special.
