Not in any particular order, just as I thought of them, but Kae Tempest may well be the best of the lot.

I've left the videos as links so as not to clog the place up.

Ah there's one glaring omission, so it's now 11

Can't recall ever seeing a crowd reaction quite like that afternoon.

I have for a few of Kae's sets. My favourite one is probably actually in the Rum Shack on Thursday night in 2014 I think just after Everybody Down was released. They were so overwhelmed by the reception they received.
