REVIEW: Charlotte Church's Late Night Pop Dungeon brings festive frolics to Manchester in sequinned farewell tour
The once angelic Charlotte Church brought a little bit of devilish glee to Manchester when her Late Night Pop Dungeon occupied New Century.
Previewing the gigs, Church along with her incredibly capable troupe of musicians and backing singers teased a festive tinge to their performances. It came but unapologetically in Dungeon fashion.The show, packed with covers of artists from 10CC to Azelia Banks, opened in a wholesome enough way with Church's backing singers offering a rendition of Mariah Carey’s All I Want for Christmas is You.
For all its brilliant brashness, the Dungeon is unmistakably and unwaveringly a joyous celebration of music in all its forms and genres. Those managing to keep count of the artists and covers aired deserve their own sequined sparkly jacket but Church, a charismatic lead for the group, and her greatly-talented band went from Destiny’s Child’s Survivor to Bee Gees’ Stayin’ Alive, via the ET theme and Home Alone megamix, with great aplomb.
Although, what was evidently apparent was there’s no ego to be found, with Church regularly deferring the vocal lead duties to her backing singers with each getting their chance to shine. Something which felt like a real authentic celebration of the collective encapsulating the Pop Dungeon spirit.
