| Emeli Sande Royal Albert hall |
In December 2007 I went to see Emeli Sande play her
debut gig at the Oran Mor for the launch of her first ep. Back then she had big
dark hair and was known as Adele. She had a top band backing her and we thought
she had an impressive voice. Little did we know she would go on to have such
huge success. I took photos at this gig and her manager was in touch a few months later to ask for the use of images
for her promotions. I met Emeli at her King Tuts gig in 2010 and took photos
back stage there. Emeli was friendly and chatted about her music and her time
at university. She was studying medicine at Glasgow university and she was travelling to London on her weekends to work on songwriting.

| Adele Emeli Oran Mor 20017 |
In 2012 she did gigs at the Old Fruitmarket
and also Oran Mor in Glasgow.
I am sure it must mean a great deal to her to be
back at the Oran Mor this Sunday for the first gig to promote her second album Long
Live the Angels. I am excited to hear her new songs. My biggest thrill in
2012 was to take photos at her Albert hall gig London! I can only imagine how
excited she was to sing there. It was one of those sunny clear November days. I
waited in the back stage room – I saw the photo of Frank Sinatra on the
wall taken back stage, met Professor Green as he entered, and then we
ascended the narrow stairs that took us straight to the front of the stage and the lights and sounds of the iconic venue were set behind us…..
