chilli Posted June 11, 2005 Author Report Share Posted June 11, 2005 Up from Glasgow to see an artist in Aberdeen This is fantastic, just bumbed into chap wearing a recognisable tee shirt, (AMT) who has travelled from Glasgow to Aberdeen to see the fantastic Mariisa Nadler tonight. He saw her @ the Venn Festival in Bristol a week ago & has told me that she is an amazing live performer with an ethereal voice, kinda gothic Kate Bush with a feel of Edgar Allan Poe in a free folk style. Yes true. So the the coin has reversed, people are starting to come to Aberdeen for gigs, lovely!!!!!!!!Pass the word this is a special one Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris Posted June 12, 2005 Report Share Posted June 12, 2005 it was a good gig. Claire Hamilton had a superb voice but I think her guitar playing let her down. Kathryn Sawyers was amazing. First time I've seen her and I was stunned. Superb. Marissa Nadler was good but all the reverb on the vocals annoyed me. I hate reverb. Good night though, although as soon as I walked out of the tunnels I got shat on by a fat, satisfied looking pigeon. Got me right on my glasses. Bastard.

Sky Posted June 14, 2005 Report Share Posted June 14, 2005 A fantastic gig overall. Marissa Nadler is utterly fantastic, and her album hasn't left my CD player since Friday. I did feel the synth was underutilised thoughusing it as a pseudo-organ does it no justice. Kathryn Sawers impressed me, but I felt many of her songs ended too abruptly. Claire's performance was much more relaxed than usual, and I really think she's becoming more comfortable in a live setting.All in all, a fantastic night. Thanks to Interesting Music, the Tunnels and the artists. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ragudave Posted June 14, 2005 Report Share Posted June 14, 2005 Marissa N was very decent but did annoy a little with the constant dithering about sound and effects levels. I'm not sure what the keyboard added since it was MN's voice and guitar work we wanted to hear. But a fine gig overall. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
