Comments:
Kathryn is extremely pregnant and hormonal. 'The next song is very quiet so if the man in the second row who keeps talking could go to the bar for a glass of shut-the-fuck-up....'. Being such a goodnatured soul she later apologises for any offence.
She's backed tonight by the band who helped her make her new record and its all a better experience for it as she seems far more relaxed and able to concentrate on her vocals which hit all the high and low notes. Her friends play beautifully with guitarist Leo Abrahams adding some great ehoey guitar and experimental sounds to her older material.
Her dottily funny in between song banter just cements the charm and earthiness that flows through her songs. Look out for her new albums of kids songs and songs about inventions which includes 'Noble Guesses' about the periodic table.
She muses at one point that its a shame she can't afford to have this band everytime she tours. I concour as they bought out the best in each other tonight.
The Audience:
Quiet and respectful apart from that one fella. Oh and a mad lady who insisted on telling Kathryn she had first heard her on 'Woman's Hour'. Might have been Jennie Murray.....
Food & Drink:
Overpriced but yummy wusabi peanuts and some mineral water. Woo!!! Saturday night!!! Wooo!!!
It Made Me Think...:
that watching a preggers lady singing 'Candy Says' puts a whole new spin on the lyric 'I've come to hate my body and all that it requires in this world'.
