It is clear that Kurt and the team have rehearsed well in the build up to Baku as the chemistry on stage between all of them, their slick routine and their confidence in each other was evident for all to see. In addition to that, Kurt is a very charismatic performer and knows how to play the cameras well.
Kurt is joined by two male electric guitar players, a female drummer, a DJ/dancer who is stood behind some decks, and Amber providing extra backing vocals. Kurt interacts one on one with each of his band throughout the performance.
The LED backdrop is very effective on screen, it features a crowd of shadows raising their hands in the air and clapping as though they are at a concert or disco against a birght background with flashing light.
The Maltese delegation was all smiles after their first rehearsal, and seemed very pleased with all aspects of the staging and performance.
