Royal Albert Hall, LondonSugababes, Emeli Sandé and Paloma Faith also joined the throng of big names in a show bursting with orchestrally enhanced favourites
When
UK garage icon DJ Spoony steps on to the stage of the Royal Albert Hall, he is brimming with pride. “We were never in the West End,” he says of his scene. “Never on a Friday night.” Well, it’s actually a Thursday, but, in a show that plunges you two decades into the past, no one’s counting.
Spoony helped to take the genre from humble roots to chart domination in the early 00s. Now, he has revamped it again with the help of composer Katie Chatburn’s Ignition Orchestra. At Garage Classical tonight, beloved 2-step classics get a drama-fuelled orchestral makeover with vocals from familiar chart names.
