14 Mar Maverick Sabre at Roundhouse, London | Live Review
Hailed by many as ‘the male Amy Winehouse,’ Maverick Sabre – who has sold over 500,000 copies of his debut album, Lonely Are The Brave, in the last four weeks and reached number two in the album chart – is the name on everyone’s lips. And when I say everyone, I mean everyone - evident in the impossible to pinpoint demographic that flooded Camden’s Roundhouse and filled every nook and cranny for the sold out show on Saturday the 10th of March.
The youth of today are too often subjected to “rubbish” music, Hackney born, Irish bred Maverick Sabre once said. He went on to say that in the Top 20 chart “no-one seems to be talking about the issues that people go through on a daily basis anymore.” A bold statement - but one he challenges with his own debut album, Lonely Are The Brave.
