Two weeks ago, Ola Salo was performing Patti Smith’s ‘Power To The People’ at the Polar Music Prize in front of the esteemed laureate herself. Tonight, with three costume changes – the second being huge black feather wings, to the Encore where the whole band changed from black to gold, Ola strutting on with his oversized feather ‘collar’. What a performer, and the audience were happily manipulated. With a performance reminiscent of Freddie Mercury or Bono, Ola had the entire jam packed audience sing A Capella for about 10 minutes. Fun to witness, in their perfect surroundings.
