'Robbie Williams gave Wolverhampton one of his best gigs yet': Our readers on the star's big night at The Halls
Born entertainer Robbie Williams starred in a sellout spectacular show in Wolverhampton - and fans agree it was up there with the singer's finest performances.
The former Take That singer's Long 90's tour sold out The Halls in no time at all, and the lucky fans who secured tickets - plus plenty of those who didn't - queued up outside the Wolverhampton venue hours in advance of the show on Monday night (February 9).
The consensus was that the show was well worth the wait, Williams blending old favourites and material from his new project BRITPOP with his trademark cheek and sending the whole crowd home with a nostalgic buzz.
