Anyone heard any news on Roisin Murphy playing this summer?

She had a baby in January this year but has released a couple of quality tunes over the last couple of months. By June hopefully she will be in a position to start playing the odd few gigs. Never seen her live and each time she has been at Glasto it's clashed with something else.

The OH would be immensely happy were she to play.

Oh I hope so - loved it when she performed on Jazzworld a few years back and she was equally as excellent when I saw her at Camden Roundhouse.

Couldn't get near anything when she did the Queen's Head the other year though and didn't fancy standing around in the rain.

Would have loved to have seen her at the Queen's head but it was the one year I couldn't go! Reckon she's really underrated though and deserves much more exposure than she currently gets.

I was wandering around backstage at Jazzworld when she arrived, and soon after when she wandered out into the site with her fella for a nose around.

It was quite disappointing really .... I love her ballsy stage persona, but off-stage she seemed like the meekest female you'd ever see, holding fella's hand or trotting along behind him

I have a feeling that I might have missed seeing her perform (I can't remember), but did catch her at Solfest the (I think) same year, and she was as superb as ever.

When Moloko played at V a number of years back, I insisted that the Metallica fan photographer I had working there with me go and see them (so he could photo them, so I could enjoy the set) .... he hadn't ever even heard of them, but he was completely blown away, best band he saw all weekend he said.

I did too and she was superb even though it started to rain. She's got a great voice really different i think. I also saw her in 2003 with Moloko and she was just as good then, it was a lovely sunny day aswell.

Me too, that was a stand out performance to start the Festival off for me, maybe it helped that I got near the front

Would love to see Roisin too and definitely reckon she's due an outing soon at some festivals after bringing out a couple of cracking tunes - Momma's place is a corker!

I would love to see her live. I love her mad outfits

Has she had any other material out since Overpowered?
