With an audience soaked to the skin cramped into a stuffy basement, Rosie really had to deliver to please her audience. And she did: her warm and bubbly personality erased all memory of the gloomy weather, engrossed as we were in this well-told story of how she came to be doing this show. A truly beautiful, though unrefined, singing voice complements her humorous tale, recounting her feelings along the way with very well-written lyrics. This show is an altogether generally lovely experience: it’s a cosy acoustic concert as well as an interesting and funny account of the road to sort-of fame. As I re-entered the pouring rain, Rosie’s mellow tones ran through my thoroughly dampened head.
Just The Tonic at The Tron, 4 – 28 Aug (not 15, 16), 6.20pm (7.20pm), £7.00 – £9.00, fpp144.
