I used to think Beth Orton was exceptional, but I was wrong. It seems I grossly underestimated her. Beth Orton's performance was a heartfelt collection of bluesy, soulful, folk music, a smooth collection of humour, blistering acoustic guitars and tender vocals. Quite simply a brilliant way to spend a hot, lazy afternoon, listening to Beth Orton was a truly moving experience.
