He&#8217;s rightfully sold out this venue with ease and the crowd are rightfully excited in anticipation of the show.<\/p>\n<p>A warm-up DJ takes to the stage before the band and starts spinning some big tunes to get the crowd excited. &#8216;Katy on a Mission&#8217;, &#8216;Pon De Floor&#8217; and &#8216;One&#8217; are well received and set the mood so that, as Professor Green finally takes the stage, he gets a rapturous reception. The crowd sing along to every song and appreciate every hit. He closes a great performance with &#8216;Need You Tonight&#8217;, which everybody has been waiting for, a flawless crescendo which means everyone leaves happy.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/garyb_manchester\/5090495504\/\" title=\"Professor Green - Manchester Academy 2 - 14\/10\/10 by Gary @ GB Multimedia, on Flickr\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Professor Green - Manchester Academy 2 - 14\/10\/10\" height=\"332\" src=\"http:\/\/farm5.static.flickr.com\/4107\/5090495504_98b68cc43c.jpg\" width=\"500\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/garyb_manchester\/5090495250\/\" title=\"Professor Green - Manchester Academy 2 - 14\/10\/10 by Gary @ GB Multimedia, on Flickr\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Professor Green - Manchester Academy 2 - 14\/10\/10\" height=\"332\" src=\"http:\/\/farm5.static.flickr.com\/4149\/5090495250_b50ccd3ef1.jpg\" width=\"500\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/garyb_manchester\/5089896525\/\" title=\"Professor Green - Manchester Academy 2 - 14\/10\/10 by Gary @ GB Multimedia, on Flickr\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Professor Green - Manchester Academy 2 - 14\/10\/10\" height=\"324\" src=\"http:\/\/farm5.static.flickr.com\/4084\/5089896525_0018be43c3.jpg\" width=\"500\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/garyb_manchester\/5090494332\/\" title=\"Professor Green - Manchester Academy 2 - 14\/10\/10 by Gary @ GB Multimedia, on Flickr\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Professor Green - Manchester Academy 2 - 14\/10\/10\" height=\"500\" src=\"http:\/\/farm5.static.flickr.com\/4087\/5090494332_01ce5185c3.jpg\" width=\"332\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Like the Example concert I covered a couple of weeks ago, I thought this was probably too small a venue for Professor Green. 2010 has been quite a year for the artist, his INXS sampling &#8216;Need You Tonight&#8217; propelled him into the limelight and follow up singles have gained him further success and mainstream appeal.
