Liverpool Sound and Vision Rating * * * *

As last minute replacements go, to find the exceptional Sophie Anderson standing on stage ready to blow the audience away in one fell swoop constitutes the beginnings of a very fine evening out.

Sophie Anderson may have found herself at a loose end on a Sunday evening in the biting cold that has come back for a second go this winter but once inside the Lomax on Cumberland Street there was no stopping this young woman from showing her magnificent vocal range that wonderfully left people taken aback in its animalistic brutal sensational quality.
