Thursday 23 September 2021. BEABADOOBEE + MAC WETHA live at The Forum. Bea Kristi (age 21) is better known as beabadoobee, is a London-based Philippines singer-songwriter. Expect some unique bedroom-acoustic pop sound pulling heartstrings with every beat. Her sound has evolved over the years, drawing influence from 90s alternative rock and space rock. Her only album "Fake It Flowers" went to number 8 in the UK charts at the end of 2020. In Dec 2020 she featured in many lists of artists to look out for in 2021, including NME. Bea is on a UK tour after playing the main stages at Reading and Leeds Festivals in August. ------------------ MAC WETHA arrived on stage at 8.15pm for their 30 mins set. Mac and his band played a good set of uptempo catchy pop tracks. BEABADOOBEE arrived on stage at 9.15pm and played for 55 mins. The stalls standing is rammed solid with bouncing excitable teenage girls, while the older folks like us, are sitting upstairs in a half empty circle. Bea is looking like a proper rock chick in black boots and mini-skirt. The set is a great collection of catchy grunge-pop that really rocked in many places. The set is short and sweet , but really good. FULL SETLIST PLAYED TONIGHT....
