The Laura Marling thread

[somecoolusername]

She last played in 2011 if I'm not mistaken? On a very sunny Sunday on the Pyramid. So I think she's due to return. I've seen her a few times, most recently at the Kentish Town Forum a few months ago. She's always great.

Shakey supported by Laura Marling. Cool.

Long overdue a return. However, I'm not that hopeful as she has been touring around the last few festivals but not played

so, on a similar John Martyn type vibe, I'm going to recommend Ryley Walker. Worth a listen. w*nky try too hard video, mind.

 

 

 

Roll a fat one, kick back with a bottle. Heavenly stuff.

Laura Marling is playing Meltdown at South Bank on 18/06 one week before the G. Not sure she will play at all but she would in theory be available. She is also supporting Neil Young on 4 arena dates earlier in June.

Would be a nice surprise. She did 6 music festival

I watched Laura Marling at the proms yesterday. In these sad times her performance brought a lump to my throat on numerous occasions. Spellbinding performance

Thanks for the heads up, will have a look at that. We were so looking forward to seeing her at Glastonbury this year.

It's absolutely gorgeous, I really enjoyed it.

I've not watched a prom before, do they usually have pre- and half time analysis? It felt like a BBC FA cup outside broadcast, but with Edith Bowman instead of Alan Hansen

I'm not sure i never usually watch the proms. As a big Laura fan i saw this pop up and had to see it, i knew that there wouldn't be any audience and she is perfect for that environment, the quietness and orchestral arrangements really suit her music. As with classical stuff they attempted to split it into separate sections with musicians moving in and out and i thought it worked quite well. I actually like the analysis with Edith Bowman as a gushing fan girl and i guess they wanted to inform people who hadn't seen Laura before of the history of her music etc. It was all great but ' For you' , 'wild fire' and the 'Once i was an Eagle' quartet as an opening were they highlights for me.

That's great.

I loved that she drove Edith to tears. Was Laura meant to be on the Park this year?

Yes, really wanted to see her there. Last time we just sat on the pyramid field on a beautiful sunny afternoon listening to her wonderful voice. Really chilled out time, one of those memorable personal Glastonbury moments 

[Avalon_Fields]

I’ve been playing her new album quite a lot, one of her best I reckon

One of those lovely afternoons where it was easy to walk into the pit area 10mins before she came on and get a great spot for a beautiful hour of music. Just gorgeous
