I must admit I'd never heard of Ariana Grande before the terror attack in Manchester two weeks ago.
And neither had I heard of many of the young artists who performed at her One Love Manchester benefit show yesterday evening.
Ariana Grande returned to the Manchester stage two weeks after a suicide bombing killed 22 victims at her concert in the city, singing upbeat and motivational pop anthems as the audience cheered loudly for the singer.
But despite feeling a bit old, I quite enjoyed the show, and I have to agree with the Globe's John Doyle.
