Cadogan Hall is fast becoming my favourite venue for seeing rock artistes who are keen to deliver intimate and under amplified performances. Not quite "unplugged acoustic" sets but low key acoustic and electric sets, where the acoustics of the venue and easy viewing from all seats are shown to great effect.
I knew little of Shelby's music before I went based solely on my brother's recommendation from his seeing her when she last performed in London at the RFH South Bank. Ultimately that did not matter as from the word go she was a very lively and engaging singer and performer with many stories about the songs and her life interspersing.
Very strong vocals and neat and tasty acoustic playing with her electric guitarist accompanist made for a very enjoyable evening where a very full set of songs left me looking forward to her next London concert.
