Last night, tucked at the back of a very ordinary looking pub on Chiswick High Road was a cosy events room that kept hidden a candle-lit audience and very special line up of music and spoken word artists ready to take the stage.
Unfortunately we arrived a little late and Miss Ma and I only managed to catch the very end of the opening performance from Grace Lamarr but judging from the hushed tones of the crowd when we first crept in and the loud cheers that followed as she stepped off stage, she did very well to start the show.
Next on the line-up was the enchanting George Maple who with her easy, soulful vibe and gracious and effortless voice, held the attention of the audience from the start till the very end of her set. Her sultry sound and laid-back style made for very easy listening and although neither of us had actually come across any of her music before seeing her live at Blue Flowers, with each song she performed we grew increasingly convinced that she was an artist we had to keep up with in the future.
