Candlelight tribute concert in which a string quartet plays Coldplay songs under the glow of candles at Swansea Minster.
Candlelight: Tribute to Coldplay comes to Swansea Minster on Saturday 21 November, with a string quartet taking on the Coldplay songbook under the glow of candlelight. It's part of the Candlelight series, which brings live music into locations like this one, and this particular night is dedicated to the songs of Coldplay.
The programme covers a good stretch of their career, with the early stuff and the later years sitting side by side. You'll hear Clocks, Shiver, Speed of Sound, and Trouble alongside Fix You, Paradise, Something Just Like This, Yellow, The Scientist, A Sky Full of Stars, and feelslikeimfallinginlove. It's a long list that reaches back to the early records and carries through to the more recent material, so the set draws from different eras of the band's output rather than sticking to one particular album or period.
With a string quartet on the music, the songs are stripped back to their melodies, played on strings rather than the full band sound. The candlelight is the other half of the setup, with the venue lit by candles during the performance.
