I went to see Hurts play at Union Chapel last week, as part of Mencap's Little Noise sessions. They were wonderful: haunting, elegant, emotional - as arresting now as the first time I saw them.
I really enjoyed the support act Saint Saviour.
We described Saint Saviour as:
- Kate Bush meets Liza Minelli
- Marcella Detroit meets Robyn
- Enya meets Roisin Murphy
- Dolores O'Riordan meets Enya
- Enya goes to Florence (with the Machine)
Ergo: amazing.
Maybe the church setting set me to thinking more than usual, but the lyrics Saint Saviour sang really stood out: "don't shine the spotlight on me, I'm already bright enough". Profound, no?
