The back hub tucked away inside The Arches is dark and mysterious and scattered with people who talk all hushhush and wait patiently for two stunning voices that leap and bound and practically jump right onto the stage tonight. The first sums up Glasgows thriving music scene neatly, and takes it back to basics without all the wiry details of something too new or too wordy or all style and no substance.

Its nice to see something so simple but effective and so vocally beautiful, between songs shes likeably awkward, ur cool ur good, asking a dispersed crowd, is everyone ok? yeah? Cool, this is so exciting, before tumbling into song again. Theres something about the track Way Back When that you cant put your finger on, something that expectantly treads all over you and leaves an imprint, something that doesnt hit so hard by listening to the same song on

record. That seems to be the real stamp thats setting apart a good performance from a great one in a city buzzing with talent from every crumbling corner pub and a stamp that tonight unassumingly, quietly even, takes firmly away with it.
