Seal,
i saw you on Oprah, and it touched my life in so many ways. It is weird for me to say, because i am a 12 year old girl in Australia and not many people at my school would know who you are, but luckily i do! I wish i could come to your concert, but tickets are hard to get. So best wishes on your tour, Seal. Also, congratulations on your baby, send my blessings to the family. Take care. xo
Wicked Concert! Seal rocked!!
Amazing!!!
Coming to see you in Manchester next monday – realy excite. It’s a mum and daughter evening out as ‘ Kissed by a rose’ is our song from when she was a baby. Hope you sing it.
jo and zoe x
Hey Seal,
it’s very sad that you’re not coming to Germany this tour. But you were here last year for two concerts, but I couldn’t attend one of them. Maybe I’m going to Brussels to see you there, it’s not that far away and my father is from Belgium, so we won’t have any problems with the language. I hope I can be there. See you then.

A truly brilliant concert at the NIA Birmingham, Seal had to work hard and did not fail to entertain the fans. This was the second time I have seen seal in 14 years and he is still excellent. His gravelly voice is just fantastic, he sang old and new songs and I love his soul album. Hope seal does a follow on album, he is so talented, I think the change has come for seal with more to follow hopefully! Thank you Seal for a great evening.
Saw the show in Edinburgh last night… my kids Rebecca and Josh got me tickets for my birthday and came along….they were delighted with the show…he was amazing !!! We were right at the front and I danced from the word go…Truly an amazing singer…he gave it his all…I night I will always remember… will definitely be looking forward to his next visit…x
Saw the show in the HMV Apollo last night (it will always be the Hammersmith Odeon to me). What can I say – awesome!
Went to the show at Hammersmith last night, and it was a blast. My friend Matt was brought along for his second Seal gig after enjoying Shepards Bush last time, and my other mate Adam (a more recent Seal convert) made his first appearance at a gig. Seamless blending of songs from every album, a healthy chunk of Soul mixed with those songs that brought back so many memories. Adam had a blast, comparing it to being in a nightclub that you could sing along with. Poigniant words about Michael Jackson, and a nice dedication of Prayer for the Dying. What I love most about a Seal concert is that unlike so many bands and artists, where if you dont look/act a certain way you are probably going to get that ‘what are they doing here’ attitude, at a Seal gig you come as you are. I saw families and granparents, students and married couple, people dressed smart, people dressed casual, but one thing was all the same – smiles and anticipation, and the collective joy of singing, dancing and belonging to a family that does not judge you – Our family, Seal’s fans. Sat in our row chatting to the people either side of us, a man who had driven up from Norfolk and was driving back that night after the gig, to the man with his young daughter the other side. Thanks Seal, another wonderful experience and can’t wait for the next one!
Saw the show at Hammersmith Fri 26/6 absolutely, unbelievably great. Venue not the best as no aircon, do not know how he performed in that heat. But performed he did, every female wanted to leave with him. Probably best show I have ever seen, now want to see him at a great Venue….XXX
Just got back from the Oxford concert, absolutely fantastic, it was a brilliant way to celebrate my 40th birthday today. Thank you.
Seal, thank you for bringing your show to Oxford. My Wife & I enjoyed every minute. I was the guy in the red”NYC” T-Shirt in the front row. Keep up the great work!! Andrew & Nicola
Here are a few photos of tonight’s Soul Tour date in Oxford (27th June) which was fantastic (and having enjoyed the Apollo Hammersmith last night and thought it was fab this was even better!). The magic is still there. There are a few photos to look at if you want.
Denise,
Please try uploading your photos again.

Thanks Brendan – this was taken at the Oxford Soul Tour on 27th June. Sitting back in Row T I was amazed I managed to get an uninterrupted photo! So looking forward to the next tour when I am definitely up for a front row seat to upload an even better photo to compete with some of the fab photos that have been taken.
The most fantastic concert. Seal you were and are simply the best. Thoroughly enjoyed it all. THANK YOU x
Seal, we saw your show ast the NIA Birmingham on Monday 22 June. It was truely awesome, the best concert we have ever been to. T he Album Seal Soul is never off my CD player. Can’t wait for the next time you tour, we deffinately will be going. Take care x
Thank you for giving such a brilliant performance – a fantastic concert! Please come back to Oxford again.
Lenny Kravitz was excellent last night in Manchester but Seal was better! So many great songs, all of them delivered by a real cool pro. Every word sung with real emotion. Love you, Seal.
Manchester 29th June. That was amazing. Fantastic concert.
I didn’t think that Seal could get any better than his Birmingham concert, but last night, at Manchester, Seals perfomance was amazing. I loved the interaction between Seal, and those of us in the audience, it made the whole evening feel very intimate. Please come back to the UK VERY soon.
Went to the Apollo Manchester last night (29th June 2009) – fantastic concert! Always been a Seal fan, but never seen live until now – was not dissapointed by the man. Very engaging and technically excellent.
Only small criticism was the small number (3) of musicians on stage and the use of some ‘backing tracks’ to fill the gap.
Given his ‘new’ soul material (which was amazing live), a small brass section, some quality backing singers, an extra keyboard – it would have made it an even more merorable experience.
Hi Anthony,
At The Nia Birmingham Seal did have a Brass section, and also 3 or 4 female backing singers. I wondered if the line-up was altered last night due to the stage being much smaller than the one at the NIA ?
Have seen Seal 4 times now and he is without doubt the best singer this country has ever produced. He has such style and charisma he’s amazing!!. My partner and I were on the front row at Manchester Apollo last night with my son and daughter and he shook all our hands. Even though I am in my fifties I was up there dancing and singing and enjoying every minute. Would love to see him in Paris in July. Can’t wait for my next Seal concert.
2nd time i have seen Seal in Manchester and last nights performance was just as memorable as the first. His vocals were again amazing and the choice of songs suited all old and new fans. Please come back to the UK soon.
What an amazing concert last night in Manchester. I have been a fan since buying the first album on vinyl and have stayed a fan ever since. Last night was the first time I have seen you live and I loved every minute. What a wonderful performer and with a voice that is even stronger live. Thank you Seal, can’t wait to see you again.
Hi, Fantastic concert in Oxford last Saturday (27th). Saw Seal at the Brixton Academy in 1991 and couldn’t believe I could see him again in Oxford!! Have been a fan since the very start of his career. Fabulous to hear his old and new songs and that wonderful wonderful voice. Will definitely try to get to another concert when I can. Long may you continue! x
Fanstatic concert last night in Bournmouth – not seen Seal live before but been a fan since the start – just love the music, lyrics, performance and they way he is with the fans just wonderful. We managed to get front row sets, never ever had front seats in my life and to be that close he was just fabulous with the fans – can’t wait for the next one!!!! Thanks Seal and the band – had a wonderful evening you really touch us all! x
Fantastic night Seal in Bournemouth, seen many acts from the Beatles but this was the best.. hurry back Seal and thanks for a special night
Saw Seal last night in Bournemouth as a gift from my wife for my 30th birthday and still smiling from the amazing show! Have been a fan since the early 90’s and am in awe of the brilliance of the voice, humour and showman! All the classics as well as the latest album hits and did not want the show to end! Can’t wait for the next one. Thanks for making my birthday one to remember forever.
