It was a Balmy Saturday night, drinkers spilled out onto the pavements outside pubs, which might explain the less than busy Barfly. Thao is a natural front woman, with lashes of charm and heaps of talent, every word was sung with gusto, while kicking her legs to the beat in her super-cool cowgirl boots. The band was tight and made sounding great look easy!A shame for the band that so few punters turned up, but it did make me feel smug and privileged to have been there. Part of me hopes this great little band remains a well kept secret, but they deserve to do well.
