Masie Peters' spellbinding Halloween performance at the O2 Academy Bristol captivated everyone. Strong foundations for the night ahead were built by Gretta Ray, an Australian singer and close friend of Maisie. It was extremely encouraging to see her strong stage presence: she won the crowd over straight away and everyone was in awe of her appearance.
Once Gretta had completed her set, it was evident that people couldn’t contain their excitement for the leading lady herself. With it being Halloween, there was a huge buzz in the air that added to the night's atmosphere. So, once The Wizard of Oz (1939) soundtrack started playing, the crowd couldn’t contain their excitement any more.
Th ere were huge cheers for Maisie —it felt like magic when she appeared wearing her pink ball gown dress, which glistened in all the stage lights. Of course, both the soundtrack and Maisie's costume played tribute to her latest album The Good Witch—with her band also accompanying her in similar, Oz-themed costumes. Maisie opened the night with a magical rendition of The Good Witch, followed by Coming of Age to an ecstatic crowd.
Just days before the concert, Maisie had released six new songs —showcasing her incredible talent for writing poetic yet relatable songs on overcoming a breakup and gaining self-confidence. However, the night consisted of a range of music, from some of Maisie's first releases to her most recent. Intimacy was also created within the grand space of the arena by Maisie playing a number of mesmerising acoustic versions of some of her tracks.
Towards the end of the night, Maisie played the songs Not Another Rockstar and Blonde, — whose high energy left the crowd screaming at the top of their voices. Maisie's voice was incredibly powerful throughout, and it was great to hear how strong her vocals were. Gretta Ray made a second appearance during the encore, leading to an inspiring duet between Maisie and Gretta.
Maisie then closed the night with Lost The Breakup, the crowd supporting her all the waybe-
