Thea Gilmore - Brighton Komedia 29.9.10
Thea has returned with the album Murphys Heart. I decide that Brighton would be the only date of the tour I would do this time as I didn't fancy a Tuesday in Camden having had plans to go there the Sunday and Thursday of the same week. Annoyingly depsite having a band the venue decided to keep the unreserevd seating in place meaning my nine pm arrival made it difficult to get a decent place. Still did the best I could and found a space on the left. The set was good, opening up with a song premiered on her last tour but still not yet on an album! Out of the new stufff, Teach Me To Be Bad sounds to be up there with her classics and it was good to hear a heavy version of Mainstream again which hadn't been played on the previous acoustic shows. Still an essential artist to see for each tour.
