June Tabor - current tour

[janeb]

Saw June Tabor on Friday night as part of her current tour and she was excellent, the new album stuff was great but the best section was the 2nd half of the set when she sang 7 or 8 songs inspired by the sea. If anyone gets the chance to see her (in London later this week I think) I would highly recommend.

I saw her last night playing with the Oysterband and she was wonderful. I suppose a lot of folk classics are two-handers so benefit from a male and female voice

Such a passionate, poetic voice. She made the point a few times that she sees a lot of the songs as cinematic and her honest, witty, sometimes caustic thoughts as she introduced them were worth listening to.

I was in awe.
