Sometimes, the right gig comes along at just the right time.
Following a busy few weeks and with the winter drawing in, what was badly needed was an evening to uplift. A time to just sit back and enjoy music in the organic way that a venue like the Kitchen Garden and an artist like Danni Nicholls can combine to so wonderfully provide.
Danni mentioned that having recently returned from a trip to the States, she may have still been feeling the effects of jet lag. This was however in no way reflected in the quality of the performance which was top drawer as usual. The musical fruits from the aforementioned American trip were teased with the playing of a brand new song which was excellent and will be part of a forthcoming release which will be something to look forward to.
A double headline set with no support was an unexpected treat and the two sets of roughly fifty minutes each featured a lovely mix of newer and older songs. This performance just whet the appetite for the re-arranged gig at the fabulous Milton Keynes Stables next year. This and the promise of new music will be a shining light of 2022 I'm sure.
Danni Nicholls is an artist who is fully immersed in every song she performs. This is evident in her quintessential pose of eyes closed, feeling every song and note.
The Kitchen Garden continues to put on some wonderful evenings of music. These type of gigs are more what I'm leaning towards these days. What better than such a wonderfully intimate setting for some live music? It certainly beats paying hundreds of pounds to squint up at an artist on a big screen, whilst sat miles away from the performance.
