In Leeds, women clearly reign supreme: Sean Paul Henriques threw up more shoutouts to ‘sexy ladies’ and ‘baby girls’ than you might hear at a mother and infant beauty show in Gangnam, South Korea.
Such confidence in his appeal to an audience that has a skew of three women to every man explained how the veteran dancehall artist has sustained a career well into its third decade.
He might have run on in trackie bottoms (and a gold trackie top) evoking skinny Chelsea boss Thomas Tuchel’s recent attempt at beef with a rival, but the relentless run of hits from No Lie and Get Busy to a concluding Temperature built up an escapist, holiday atmosphere very far from grim masculine sport.

Why he bothered with a snippet of Ed Sheeran’s ever-tedious Shape Of You was a mystery, but the huge cheer that greeted its sudden truncation showed exactly what the audience thought of it.
A couple of nods to classic reggae aside, notably new tune Light My Fire, this Kingston native showed just how dancehall, Jamaica’s local electronic variation, has become a universally understood formula, albeit one sometimes derided, sometimes adored for its nursery rhyme simplicity.

This then is modern collab pop, where artists share a credit and tunes promote everyone involved.
Sean Paul sits comfortably on the table of fame, his contributions instantly recognisable yet on stage he proved perfectly capable of coping without others’ star power.
This energetic show was hard to resist but sadly not every day can be a holiday.
Nonetheless the ladies, and some men, danced throughout.
