Tom Grennan rolled into Nottingham again on a miserable Wednesday night and managed to bring huge smiles to a packed Motorpoint Arena, as he performed a storming 90 minute set that included songs from his latest album Everywhere I Went, Led Me To Where I Didn’t Want To Be as well as standards from throughout his ten year career.

The energy levels were really ramped up for the final songs. The barnstormers Lionheart, By Your Side and Remind Me went down a storm and served to showcase his powerful vocals which have undoubtedly improved over the years.
Skipping the usual encore, he dived straight into his anthem Little Bit Of Love w
