“The first gig was in Oslo. I walked in from our Vauxhall Zafira car, acoustic guitars on our backs, and she’s singing ‘Rolling in the deep’. You can hear it coming through the walls and you’re like, ‘I’ve got to go on!’ “It was scary, but amazing because I’d watch the whole set every night and I learnt that she would sort of go to her own place. She really sang from her heart. And I thought, ‘OK, you can be shy and still sound good,” he said, reported femalefirst.co.uk.
