Sharon Van Etten, Gig Review. The Library Institute, Birmingham.

Liverpool Sound and Vision Rating 9/10

Every time Brooklyn-based singer-songwriter Sharon Van Etten releases an album, it’s an opportunity for the listener to check out her state of mind. An intimate setting like The Library, was the perfect platform for her selection of unguarded, confessional narratives, in a set which drew heavily from her most recent release Are We There’.

The Barr Brothers, Gig Review. Hare and Hounds, Birmingham.

Liverpool Sound and Vision Rating 9/10

When The Barr Brothers were last in Birmingham at the 2013 Moseley Folk Festival, the merchandise tent had to send for extra copies of their self-titled debut album, such was the demand.  Since then, the band have written and recorded their second album Sleeping Operator and quite rightly they were welcomed back to south Birmingham area for a sell-out gig, on the last date of their current U.K. tour.
