During the set Alison didn’t talk to the audience much and because she was so distant I didn’t really connect with her.Ī few people had the same issue and left the Baloise Session early. Lots of lights in different colours were shining behind her and it looked quite impressive. For the whole hour she stayed in the dark. I assumed this would change after a while and the light would shine on her but I made a wrong assumption. It was all dark and you could only see her features. Goldfrapp took the stage after a short break and what a start it was.
Check Out Grace’s Cello!Īfter an hour the lovely British musicians left the stage to make way to their fellow countryman or should I say woman.
I’ve heard it at a small fair in a village in London sang by a choir and I adored what they did with it. I was dancing and singing and this song is just brilliant. And finally the song everyone knew was “Rather Be”. The first encore song was “Tears” originally sang by Louisa Johnson who is more or less unknown in Switzerland but in the UK she’s a rising star. The last song before the encore was “Real Love” another dancy song and one of their biggest hits. Her voice suits this songs incredibly well. “Disconnect” came after which is originally sang by Marina from Marina and the Diamonds. With “Should have known better” Yasmin got everyone singing.
This makes me realise how lucky I was in June! Unfortunately today without the original singers of the song. “Rockabye” followed which features Sean Paul and Anne Marie (who is coming to the Energy Star Night as well as to Kaufleuten on April, 18th) and had to be included in the set. So this song was a lovely surprise and one of my highlights of the night. The band got also a Reggae song called “Come Over” and I haven’t mentioned it on my blog yet but I love this genre. The 4th song was already “Symphony” a huge hit and brilliant live – especially sung with a great voice such as Yasmin has.Ĭlean Bandit mixed slow songs where the singer could show her talent with dance songs where they got everyone jumping and dancing. However I felt that there was a great atmosphere and everyone was happy. Of course the majority stayed at the beautifully candle-lit tables and enjoyed the concert seated. The electro dance vibe was there and after 3 songs the audience couldn’t be kept on their seats anymore so the dance floor in front of the stage was opened. They started with a funny intro where we were transported into a rainforest. They get supported during their live performances by Sam on bass, Stephanie on violin and as previously mentioned Yasmin on vocals. You might not know this but Clean Bandit is just an instrumental group formed by the brothers Luke on drums and Jack on keys and Grace on cello. Today, instead of the second singer Grace herself sang a few times which surprised me even more since she seemed very shy in London. Back then they had two singers who were changing for each song. Luckily I was able to see them this summer at the Summertime Ball in London. So if you haven’t been to this amazing festival you’ve definitely missed something.Ĭlean Bandit opened the evening which surprised me quite a bit since they are huge at the moment. The staff is extremely friendly and helpful. It is a super classy location and the people dress their part. I’ve never been to the Baloise Session before and I was positively surprised when I entered the venue.
