Nineties pop star Finley Quaye was kicked off stage after giving such a shambolic peformance that the promoter had to step in after 30 minutes.

The Sunday Shining and Even After All singer can be seen in a video walking around with his back to the audience at the the Convent Club in Woodchester, Gloucestershire, last weekend.

He barely acknowledges the audience and doesn’t even seem to be playing his guitar at times. The crowd soon start talking amongst themselves.

His performance was so bad that Matt Roberts, owner of the club, was forced to boot him off after just 30 minutes.



Roberts explained that Quaye had missed a soundcheck and turned up for the show an hour late.

He told the crowd that the singer had ‘f**ked the stage’ and refused to let him ‘pollute this venue’ and promised them all a refund of their £20 tickets.

Quaye’s ex-manager and good friend Joseph Risolia has defended the singer telling Metro.co.uk: ‘The intro sounds good to me. This song, Troubador, has an extended opening but the vocals were just about to kick in.’

He added: ‘Quaye is a legend with dozens of fantastic, timeless songs.’

Quaye won the BRIT Award for Best British Male Solo Artist in 1998.

Metro.co.uk has contacted him for a comment.
