Critic Consensus
Based on 4 concert reviews, the critic consensus is that Hayden Thorpe is rated as a decent live performer, with shows that lack distinction. Hayden Thorpe concert reviews describe live shows and performances as glorious.
Hayden Thorpe is an English singer, songwriter and multi-instrumentalist, originally from Kendal, Cumbria and currently based in Walthamstow, London. From 2002 to 2018, Thorpe was the frontman of the indie pop band Wild Beasts, which he initially co-founded as a duo with guitarist Ben Little.
He played the songs on an exposed, upright piano while also deploying sampled elements and beats from a nearby device to ensure the broader sound of the album was conveyed.
Subsequent solo releases by former members Hayden Thorpe and Tom Fleming (as One True Pairing) have so far triumphantly dissected and captured different sides of the Wild Beasts sound. Yet it feels unjust that the momentum which saw the band gloriously bow out at Hammersmith Apollo seems to have been lost.
