Reminiscin'- Gigs - Boy George

Contrary to popular belief that reggae and ragga is the solemn trait for dreadlock Rastafarians, Boy George has resurrected such norm and poignantly created his own style and genre.

At Bush hall, Boy George gave a collective performance retracing his old skool flavours as well as testing out his new sounds. Having dominated the media lens recently for his off stage antics rather than his musical abilities - his comeback was more than a reassuring welcome.

Opening the stage to 'Ragga Music' and 'Inhuman Nature' the crowd was confronted by a witty conversation in Jamaican patois in the titled track, 'Ragga Music'. As his female MC ranted inaudible words, Boy George refuted back with breezing confidence and broke out in smoldering laughter joined by the deafening jeers of the crowd. His top hat donned a portrait of himself and his black blazer gauged onlookers with shimmering peace symbols.

Taking cheeky swigs from his can of beer during intervals, Boy George soon captured his crowd with Fleetwood Mac's 'Go Your Own Way'; a tasteful reggae version of jamming beats combined with his geyser vocals. Boy George's Eighties solo hit, 'Everything I Own' soon followed making the already compact venue into an indoor sauna as fans pranced and jigged drenched by the airtight venue.

Considering this was Boy George's first solo show for 12 years, uncertainty drew on his selection of songs, not failing to the speculation of his fans - Boy George unclenched the classic tracks ' Do You Really' and 'Karma'. A pleasant harmony of both the crowd and George swept the venue - peering over at the star an overwhelmed smirk soon clinched his face. Pleased with the reception he continued to bellow out to 'Let the Whole World' and 'Out Of Fashion'.

Braced with a sultry hot evening, there was no show quite like Boy George's that could encapsulate the summer vibe, with his reggae tone tinge and boisterous band the enthusiasm of Boy George was invigorating. In his usual decorum of floundering words and comments the outlandish Boy George was definitely a feast for your eyes and ears!
