Gig review: Robbie Williams, BT Murrayfield, Edinburgh

“It used to be really easy to get people over the barrier,” smirked Robbie Williams as a fan invited up on stage had to walk the long way round. “Not so much anymore. I wonder why that is?” He was telling us, in that roguishly impudent manner which inspired genuine love or hate in people back when he was a current pop concern, that none of us are getting any younger. Now 43, the former Take That star is a bit paunchier than he once was, looking somewhere between Morrissey in a black leather kilt and Robert De Niro as Jake La Motta in Raging Bull.
