Rachel Sermanni - Latest Music Bar, Brighton - 23.09.12

Although not quite as small as a good friend of mine led me to believe, Brighton's Lastest Music Bar is, nonetheless, quite intimate. And for quiet gigs like tonights, you sort of felt obliged to whisper your orders to the barman for fear of disturbing people. Promoting her debut album 'Under Mountains' Rachel Sermanni was her eclectic self, admirably supported by Jade Hopcroft and Jacko Hooper (watch out for those names). More of the same please.

Smoke Fairies - Haunt - Brighton - 20.09.12
We last saw the Smoke Fairies back in 2010 at what was then The Jam. That was an altogether different gig to last night at Brighton's Haunt for the fourth leg of their 18-venue 'Blood Speaks' autumn tour. This was a loud, boisterous, in your face rock n roll, albeit one laced with an echo of unassuming timidity. 'Blood Speaks' live is even better than 'Blood Speaks' recorded - that that's saying something! Eighty minutes of brilliance topped off with an encore concluding Abba cover totally in keeping with the haunting melodies we've come to expect from Jessica and Katherine.
