Kodaline at the Hard Rock Cafe

Kodaline

The Hard Rock Cafe, Manchester

May 30th 2013

Last night we had the opportunity to attend an exclusive performance from Kodaline at the Hard Rock Cafe in Manchester as they were recording a special set to promote their forth coming album for Absolute Radio.

Kodaline are a four piece Irish Rock band from Dublin, who have a unique sound and to date, two EP's.  Singing a host of songs from their new album 'In a perfect world', which is out on the 17th June 2013, and songs from their EP's such as 'High Hopes',  they had the audience hanging on their every note.

Halfway through the performance they left the stage and went up onto the balcony where they performed a rendition of Sam Cooke's 'Bring It On Home To Me', with just a single guitar and no microphones.  The vocals of the song carried well through the venue and proved that they have real talent.  It is easy to hide mistakes and flaws below guitars and drums and not many performers will take the risk of totally unplugging. 

All in all it was an amazing night and this is a band I look forward to hearing more from in the future.  The performance will be broadcast on Absolute radio on the 13 June and is well worth a few minutes of your time.
