Merely a conversational point anyhoo. I'm not saying she's bad or owt, as there's quite clearly a significant number of fans and critics who find her amazing. I'm just engaging in the discussion, and the review you linked to has solidified my thinking on the topic. EDIT: I guess what I mean is that if conversation threads on here are only for those with positive stuff to say, every thread becomes nothing but a love-in echo chamber for how amazing stuff is, n'est ce pas?

CaledonianGonzo Posted February 17, 2020 Report Share Posted February 17, 2020 Does sound like a set that'll be better suited for the Sunday than the Friday night. I'm a bit torn on whether she should continue to plough her own furrow* or should meet the audience halfway. There's definitely potential for her to pull a Radiohead / Gorillaz and alienate the fence-sitters. *Madam Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't really get her on record, and reviews don't point to them suddenly coming alive and pulling in the previously undecided in a live environment. She's definitely at her best in the studio, so if you don't like her on record, I probably wouldn't bother unless you are prepared to get near the front. I've always enjoyed her live, but she doesn't have a huge, powerhouse voice, doesn't do much on stage, and doesn't interact with the crowd much beyond the front row. That's just who she is. Anyone going in expecting something else may well be disappointed. I'll be down in the pit, probably giftless, unless she fancies a warm tin of Dead Pony Club or a semi-melted Wispa.

You need a seriously long torso to do justice to that spectacular Ashcroft visage. Squat stocky men need not apply. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Woffy Posted February 17, 2020 Report Share Posted February 17, 2020 Read a review of LDR the other day after she was confirmed.

Woffy Posted February 17, 2020 Report Share Posted February 17, 2020 FTR I thought she was great at GF2014. There was a lot of sniping about whether she could sing live when that first album or two came out, and there was a slight atmosphere of ‘well, prove yourself, let’s see what the fuss is about’. I thought she smashed it, quite effortlessly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In the past her UK supports have ranged from her then boyfriend's band to nobody at all. The US leg of this had local bands I think. Has she never heard of the lucrative endeavour known as the tour buy-on? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah she had “locals” open on lots of those shows but had Lucy Dacus and Joan Baez as openers for 2 of the dates. She has had one tour that had notable openers but that was almost 5 years ago when she branched out and did large venues. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
