Calvin Harris @ Oxford academy 17/10/09

When the lights dimmed down on Oxford academy for many of the younger fans in the audience it was almost too much, the chants of “Calvin, Calvin”, rang out accompanied by high pitched screams and the frantic waving of glow sticks. When Harris finally jumps on stage to ‘Merrymaking at my place’ the crowd go wild, and from that point on there’s no going back. Smashing out hit after hit in the form of, ‘Ready For The Weekend’, ‘The Girls’, and number 1 single, ‘I’m Not Alone’ Calvin bobs and dances behind his keyboard as he conducts the chaos that is progressing in front of him. Finally, as he pauses for breath he gives the crowd one more opportunity to go mental. The excited and sweaty fans obviously need no encouragement as they’ve been going mental for the last 45 minutes. When he eventually leaves the stage and the young fans start to filter out, it is perfectly understood why he has become one of the biggest pop stars of 2009.
