Gallery: Olly Murs dazzles the crowd at Llangollen Pavilion
The chart-topping pop star brought his 15 Years of Hits UK tour to the North Wales town as packed crowds cheered and danced all night long. It was a joy to watch, and remembering Olly's first audition for UK talent show The X Factor - I'm not sure where the 15-years have gone! After chatting to one of Britain's biggest and best-loved stars a couple of months ago, I knew Olly was excited to visit the festival, and Llangollen, for the first time, following in the footsteps of dear friend and colleague Tom Jones after last year. And it certainly was the 90-minutes of pure hits that he promised, with an overwhelming sense of nostalgia and good vibes all round. The cheeky 41-year-old got everyone moving with performances of Army of Two, Please Don't Let Me Go, Marry Me, Dear Darlin', Heat Skips a Beat, Wrapped Up and Save Me - his brand new single. And of course, Olly couldn't leave the stage without the favourite get-up-and-move tune, Dance With Me Tonight. The evening truly ended on a high and we loved every second. Earlier in the evening, crowds were treated to multi-award-winning singer-songwriter Lemar and rising boyband Absnt Mind who opened the show. Both acts were beyond impressive, generated a real buzz and enthusiasm for the night ahead. TK Maxx presents Live at Llangollen Pavilion concludes on Saturday with final headliners The Human League.
