Singer/songwriter and guitarist Jesca Hoop is an extremely talented guitarist, singer, and composer of her own genre of music. Her crossover of jazz, experimental music, folk, blues and pop creates something innovative that I love to listen to, and seeing her perform live was just something else entirely.
She opened the show walking centre stage along with nothing but her guitar and a stool positioned centre stage to accompany her. She said a modest hello to everyone, and then began plucking away at a beautiful melody. She played an instrumental piece on her guitar for around a minute, before launching into her acoustic track Born To. She gave a beautiful performance, and managed to hold the entire audience in silence from beginning to end before we all erupted into applause.
She then brought on her band members and introduced them to us, before they played some of her larger sounding poppy tracks. During these pieces in some of the songs from Undress, she got us all with our arms in the air, singing along with her, which was great. Although she was slightly reserved in her attitude, she was very friendly and thankful for our participation and presence as an audience. Her vocal range is incredible, and her high whistling trills really made the show unique.

Lovely performance. I had never listened to any of her original music before, so getting to hear 'Lay Down' and 'My Love' live was a great introduction to her music.
