Having previously seen Beth in a charity concert back in 2008 I was very excited to have the opportunity to see her perform live again and I was not disappointed.
Beth's support act for the evening was Marcus Hummon, a US country singer/songwriter with some impressive credentials which include co-writing the Rascal Flatt's hit song 'Bless The Broken Road'. He gave a great performance and even sang the aforementioned 'Bless The Broken Road' with Beth at the end of his set!
Beth's performance was a memorable experience, she is so full of life it is hard not to be inspired by her unending optimism and belief in what you can achieve in life. She sang many of the songs from her new album (and even played around with the arrangements of them!), some of which are truly heartfelt and others fun and uplifting, although a charactistic they all share is the meaning behind the songs and the stories they share with you, through her beautiful lyrics.
In amongst the new songs, Beth also played some old favourites such as 'Sand and Water' and 'All I Have', both sung with deep emotion and an air of simplicity.
Beth clearly loves to entertain, and kept the audience laughing with her humour and stories about her life.
I attended this concert with two older friends who enjoyed it just as much as I did, and I would certainly recommend it to anyone who likes Beth's music.
We left the concert feeling uplifted and with a big smile on our faces. Beth is by far one of the most inspirational people I have ever seen and through her music shares her love for life. An extremely talented musician.
