Background

The tour was announced on 30 October 2013, with tickets on general sale on 4 November 2013. ^[1] The tour began on 1 April 2014 in Belfast, followed by one date in Ireland then moving to Scotland and England. Cardle played guitar and was backed by a live band. He was joined by Melanie C on three shows to perform their duet Loving You.

Reception

Joe Hoffman of The Upcoming gave 5 out of 5 stars for the show saying "He is an unbelievable musical talent, and he did not fail to bring it all to a sold out show last night at Shepherd’s Bush Empire" and "Cardle’s voice is incredible, with a falsetto that can send shivers down your spine."^[2] Ann Clarkson from Native Monster gave it a favourable review saying "The vocals sounded effortless, which is a hard trick to pull off when you have a massive four-octave range and use most of that during one evening."^[3]
