Hudson Taylor Gig | Support #1: Kimberly Anne

-


If you are not (and want to be) in the loop on what led up to me being at a gig at the Electric Ballroom in Camden, read here ;)) Otherwise, welcome and let me introduce you to the first support act of the night, which was a girl with a guitar, big voice and big hair, going by the name of Kimberly Anne.


I liked her personality :) She was like half singer-songwriter, half comedian. The little chats in between songs were lovely. She even got us singing some BVs for her, which I enjoyed tremendously. Standing there in front of a stage, listening to LIVE music, singing along (and taking pride in how well I can sing, even if it was just the simplest little thing) ... It was one of those special moments, that I shall treasure and remember forever. And a sentence suddenly arose inside me... I know it sounds weird, but I can't explain it. Sometimes a couple of words just emerge out of nowhere and I know they are the truth. At least in that particular moment. It said:
“My heart in only ever truly content in music.”
Not around it, not near it, but inside music. And I felt blessed and ever so greatful for being able to be there and appreciate it.

Her set was a tiny little one, songs included (among others): “Bury It There”, “La La” and “Hard As Hello", which I now urge you to listen to. I've chosen a mix of an intimate solo recording, live footage from a gig  and an official music video, so you can get a better picture of what she's like. Or her music rather. You know what I mean ;) :D







I suggest you check her out on YouTube, twitter, tumblr, facebook, wherever you like. I believe she has an EP out right now that you can buy if you want to :) And feel free to let her know who sent you ;)

I'll see you soon with another part of my Electric Ballroom impressions.

Hudson Taylor at Electric Ballroom

Well aren't you good at patiently waiting for me to get it together? I hope the following music-y ramblings will not disappoint you. In all honesty, the timing of this post could not be any better, because Hudson Taylor's debut album has only just been released in Ireland and for the rest of us the wait is almost over. Trust me, 23rd March will be here sooner than you think. Head over to hudsontaylormusic.com to find out about how and where you can pre-order it. (Or indeed, purchase if you have the proverbial luck of the Irish :) ) Now, let me once again take you back in time, to last summer, 5th June 2014, if you want me to be date specific. On that memorable day I strolled around Regent's Park and in the evening I went to my first (and hopefully not last) concert in London. I've already talked about the supporting musicians: Kimberly Ann and the oh so amazing Flyte (still not over them!), but now comes the time to talk about the music that I

This is the one you have been waiting for so long, I hope. Thank you for your patience. August has been a bit of a weird month (more on that later), resulting in a weird blog silence. What can you do? Life happens. Here's more of my unnecessarily long London stories for you. "Oh dear, is she still going on about London? That was ages ago!" Yes it was, but I will never stop going on about it! The best is yet to come, believe me ;) Now, let's travel in time: Day 3: 5th June 2014 (Thu) I was woken up by the traffic early in the morning. It surprised me. We are a bit off the main road and still the noise is remarkably prominent (says the girl, who has lived on the main street for all her life, and is used to the sound of traffic day and night. Only in a “big city” of a different scale.) I made my plan for the day, which included Baker Street, Regent’s Park and Primrose Hill. Not more, because I needed to get back home early to get ready and leave in time f

Music Monthly: September 2013

I am not even going to try and come up with an apology for this article being 2 weeks late. It just is. Deal with it :) Why not take a little mid-October brake from digging in the back of our closets, searching for where the heck are all the gloves and scarves and warm wolly sweaters, make yourself and nice cuppa of something warm and listen to a couple of songs I assembled last month. As always, it's a little bit of everything: mainstream, indie, folky... I hope you find something you like. First up, yet again, Hudson Taylor . One more song and then I'll shut up about them. Haha, as if :D  First they would have to stop producing such lovely and heart warming music and that is unlikely. (New EP is out now, go get it on iTunes!) Anyway, this is about September and there was one song in particular that spoke to me more than the others. It's one of their oldies, from a couple of years back, and it's called "Concrete Walls" . Sadly, I must say that a lot of t
