Ólöf Arnalds opened the show with her unique voice and beautiful songs. Although it's hard not to make Bjork comparisons, it's easy to see her talent is special. Her songs demonstrated a wide range of guitar skills that would make anyone swoon, and her lyrics were touching without being cheesy. A bit of a result really.
Jose Gonzalez was the main draw for the evening, and although being a man, most likely, known for his covers (The Knife, Massive Attack, Kylie Minogue), he's back with a new album full of exciting new material. Complete with band, he played songs from that pulse racing record as well as making time to include the 'hits'. This included Heartbeats during a solo set half way through the evening which was followed by the classic pop ditty turned into a sorrow filled number, 'Put Your Hand On Your Heart' by Kylie Minogue.
A complete set full of fantastic guitar playing and a mixture soulful and enigmatic songs that had the crowd hooked.
