Venue:
Louisiana, Bristol
Date: 28/10/2016
The Louisiana is a wonderful small venue – 100 or so (?) upstairs in a trad pub, and sold out tonight. Support band Girl Ray were very likeable. Haley Bonar plays tuneful, slightly twisted guitar based pop. Some really good songs – see below. Some of her stuff puts me in mind of Chris Isaak for some reason – a bit of grit beneath the glitter. Seemed very taken by visiting Stonehenge on the way from Brighton – personally I’m more impressed by the Clifton Suspension Bridge. She is already booked to come back to a bigger venue next April and I have bought my ticket.
The audience:
100 or so., mainly behind me so not sure who they were. Big Jeff obviously.
It made me think..
YouGo Girl(s) – its stamped on the back of my hand. Roll on Thekla next April.
Anton – everything you recommend here is golden. Loved that.
loved this too:
(blushes)…it’s been a good year. I read it was Mr Sparhawk from Low who “discovered” her. Do try and see her this tour or when she comes back in the Spring. Next stop Wave Pictures 🙂
This too
