Bat For Lashes, itunes Festival 19.7.09


This was free after applying on the itunes site. It was slightly disappointing however that they would not let you out of the venue after you collected your wristband meaning we were stuck with an expensive drink and no seat which you could get in a pub. Support was from Polly Scattergood who was quite good. However, she trys to be a bit too quirky for the sake of being quirky, when when she does concentrate on her singing you can tell she's a relatively normal performer.
Bat For Lashes changed their set around concentrating on the best songs from their both albums which was for the better. Not too sure how many here would have actually paid to see her, as the audience reception was a little lacklustre, though I really thought the songs and the performance were as good as someone in the female songwriter genre I have seen in a while.
Afterwards we did manage a pint in the Lock Tavern where there was an utterly gorgeous female working, though my companion did harshly say she was only five stone! Still we had time for a couple of pints of Amstel before the tube to Morden.

Set - Glass / Horse & I / Travelling Woman / Bat's Mouth / Sarah / Sleep Alone / The Wizard / Siren Song / Trophy / What's A Girl To Do / Pearl's Dream / Priscilla / Good Love / Two Planets / Daniel
