The Emerald City

I love Duffy. Her voice is soulful, her song writing formidable and what I wouldn't give to have her hair and wardrobe! I've wanted to see her sing live since I found a you tube video of her rehearsing Syrup and Honey a capella. What I heard in that video just didn't seem the same as what I heard on her CD, it was so much more exciting... So I snapped up my Duffy tickets in the presale (thank you Facebook!) and WOW is all I can say.

I was completely unprepared for the incredible voice that came out of that tiny little body. We had second row seats just left of the centre stage and I swear it felt like I could reach out and touch her; we could clearly hear her voice in over the speakers, her voice was so powerful!

I spent most of the evening with shivers running up and down my spine and came out almost unable to speak from screaming and singing at the top of my voice. Her charisma totally shone through, she made an effort to pose for all the cameras in the arena and make eye contact with as many of us as possible. If you ever get the chance to see her live, it's a must do. My only regret is not taking my DSLR and having to nick Cindy's point and shoot to take photos, so needless to say next time she's back I'll be back in the front row with my Canon taking hundreds of pictures!
