Nothing wrong with solo gigs in the true meaning of the word as long as you get up on stage and play an instrument as well as sing, you have to be really inventive in your arrangement of songs. I'm not surprised people were annoyed at paying for an out of tune karaoke session.

Certain singers could carry off singing to a backing track. Go to a Pub that has live music and you'll see them.
But Ian Brown? Over £40 a ticket? Oh... No thanks.

I think I might be disappointed. I really like Ian Brown as a solo artist. He made two staggeringly brilliant albums at the end of the 90's. Way better than the over-hyped Stone Roses. But his band were superb and played a massive part in those. This seems a very odd thing to do. But surely some fans must have known what was coming? Or have the BBC been selective in their choices of comments? As always to create the right mood for their agenda. The price of the ticket is academic and using that to press home whatever point it was they were trying to make is cheap, easy journalism. I'm reminded of Nicole Lacey. If anyone remembers. Never seen so many open mouths since they introduced us to Restless  |

Hmmm.
I guess it depends on how good they are as a performer. I saw Joan Armatrading in 2015, on her farewell touring tour. And she did this too. But, as Bluehighway says, she also played the guitar for which she was also known. Initially, I thought it was a bit odd but she had such a great stage presence, and we loved her songs, it was fine. And I guess it was much cheaper.
