Joss Stone

Wednesday night was Joss Stone concert night at Massey Hall !!

Massey Hall is an intimate cosy venue in downtown Toronto that is similar in size and appearance to The Melbourne Town Hall. We had seats in the first balcony towards the right hand side of the stage. The distance from the stage was equivalent to sitting in row two on the floor, only we were up one itty bitty level. Best seat I've ever had at a concert ! She's a cute lil thang, playing with the audience and jumping off the stage quite a few times and going out into the audience to get them up and dancing. Some girls sitting beside us kept hollering out " I love yewwww Jossssss !" , causing her ( once or twice ) to stop her song and giggle.

She put on a great show and has a fantastic voice live; the true barometer of singing talent.

Her supporting act was Raul Midon
. What an up and coming talent ! His voice reminded me of a cross between Stevie Wonder and Guy Sebastian. He seems to write a lot of his own songs also. Superb voice !

After the concert we wandered up Yonge Street in the warm spring night, sitting down on some steps and people watching for awhile.

That was the best part of the night for me.... :)
