Less than four months ago she had to pull out of a gig at Wolverhampton’s Little Civic due to illness.

But Scots lass Amy Macdonald made a triumphant return to the city last night where she performed to a sold out Wulfrun Hall – nearly 10 times the size of the Little Civic with a capacity of 1,134.

Since she was originally due to perform in Wolverhampton in October, the teenager’s star has soared thanks to her debut album This Is The Life topping the charts. She took to the stage to the sound of bagpipes and launched into one of her most famous songs to date, also titled This Is The Life.

The star confessed to feeling a little tired but it certainly didn’t show as her powerful vocals, which defy her young age, shone through on her catchy folk-blues songs. The most popular song of the night was her biggest hit to date Mr Rock and Roll, which had almost everyone in the audience bopping about and clapping along.

And fans were repaid for their enthusiasm when she was joined by Ocean Colour Scene’s Steve Craddock on stage for a raucous version of The Riverboat Song, which went down a storm.

She also attempted her take on The Killers’ Mr Brightside which also got a good reaction from the crowd – a brilliant show.
