Paul Young at The Cambridge Corn Exchange

The unifying concept of a concert never ceases to amaze, especially with a seasoned, wholly talented and iconic performer such as Paul Young.  There was absolutely no shortage of love (with plenty of oohing and slight scattered screaming from various women dotted through the crowd) when Young took the stage on Monday night at the Corn Exchange in Cambridge.  He is currently on tour to celebrate the 35th Anniversary of the phenomenal album, ‘No Parlez’. …
