…absolutely mesmerising. I enjoyed the juxtaposition of the wig and the dress glittering like fish scales or armour against the rural backing. The music was very evocative, having both beguiling lyrics and the opportunity to listen to and be swept away by sound rather than meaning…

…a significant artist. I don’t mean significant in terms of reputation. I mean of presence and awareness.
