Emmy the great

With her hotly anticipated debut album ‘First Love’ recently released, this could be her moment to shine at last. Emmy spoke with the audience between songs as if they knew all the in-band jokes!

The atmosphere was appropriately mellow, the crowd sat on the floor. This was not a set to have a dance to, rather, to appreciate a beautiful voice, and perfectly placed accompaniments with unusual instruments. Definitely some superb song-writing talent in Emmy, traditional folk style blended with her own pop twist. For me a highlight was an eloquent cover of the Carpenters 70’s hit ‘The end of the world’.
