So.....our boy is in China now, the Olympic machinery is getting started

Thank you Sambista. I've been online looking for any current articles pertaining to Paolo in China.

No luck. All I've found are the following two links:

They talk about the masks, show pictures of the "Yoka," and mention a performance that Paolo was planning to give in Beijing on August 5, 2008. No mention of the venue.

I hope more turns up, I'm very interested in how things are going for him over there.

I'm wondering if he's on his way to Japan yet...

A little more...

The Los Angeles Times reports:


Bolt was speaking at a news conference staged by his sponsor, Puma, in one of Beijing's glitzier shopping malls. He shared the stage with a Scottish singer, Paolo Nutini, who is in town to perform a song called, "New Shoes'' for the Jamaican Olympic Team at a party to celebrate the country's independence day (Aug. 6).

Paolo looks so happy here in contrast to Bolt.




He's such a man of the world now!

Thank you sparkling_eyes! I've been checking the Daily Record off and on and waiting for a story. I figured they'd print one. This is such a big event. I finally found it, and got on to post, but you had already posted it. lol. I hope we continue to find more. I just don't understand why the News section here didn't have something posted on this trip. It's one of the most interesting of his appearances. I bet it meant a lot to him. I hope it was all positive. It would be so nice if someone filmed Paolo's gig there. I can only hope... lol.

Here is a link to Getty Images with a few other pictures from China.

you're welcome!

yeah I don't know why tehy don't post it on the news section here. I know other artists' official web site where they post everything concerning the artist including interviews and reports on magazines etc... Another thing that I don't like much is that they didn't post all the concerts Paolo made like the festival in Portugal. I'd be very sad if I missed a concert

Thanks so very much! I didn't think to check Paolo's MySpace. Looks like I might see people in the audience holding up camera phones, or recorders of some kind. Maybe we'll get some videos or more pics popping up.That would be great.

The middle pic of Paolo with Bolt gave me a kick. I googled just how tall Bolt is, he's about 6'4" - 6'5". My husband is a little over 6'7", and has a bigger body-type than Bolt. He would tower over Paolo. I'm only a bit over 5'2" so Paolo would still be quite taller than me, however. Just finding this interesting at the moment for some reason... LOL.

I loved the pictures and am so glad you found them! I wish we could get more, but maybe I'm being greedy... Looks like it was some party!
