Crikey.Where did those two months go? Mine flew by - one minute I was doing job applications, then I was in Berlin, then I had tests, interviews and celebrations and lots of gigs. I was daunted by the sheer amount of photos to process (which is my process of gathering thoughts on the gig), but I've done that now, so it's quick re-cap time.
I saw Slow Club supporting Laura Marling back in February and fell instantly in love with their romantic, folky pop ditties. I made sure I saw them when they did played their residency at the Enterprise in Chalk Farm. The small room up the rickety stairs was an oasis of red velvet, soft lighting and happy punters. After support from the gorgeous Jay Jay Pistolet, Slow Club's Charles and Rebecca took to the stage to make lots of soft noise, making everyone grin ear-to-ear with their sharp lyrics and beautiful boy-girl melodies. It was beautiful. They finished with a truly unplugged rendition of their anthemic 'When I Go'. Hop over to their Myspace to listen to four songs. They might even be playing near you soon...
