Thea Gilmore - Bush Hall 3.12.09

Thea has a Christmas album out which could have been dreadful. Thankfully her cynicism remains in her songs and this show did not draw too heavily from it. We still had the old favourites such as Saviours And All and Are You Ready. A grand piano was also dragged out for Nigel Stonier to play Icarus Wind. At the encore, I had a severe impact on the set as I was asked to throw a dart at a dartboard for a random Christmas cover. With Slade and Wizzard at the top there was no doubt as to where my aim was. However the dart sliced to the left and we were left to enjoy a twee version of Have Yourself A Merry Little Christmas. Still better than Silent Night ot Joy To The World which were also on the list! We also had a cover of Elvis Costellos St Stephens Day Murder which is also on her album. Good Stuff indeed.
