Hazel O'Connor Last Night
It was a good evening. It was a bit weird at the start. The last time I had seen her live was so long ago that the Mean Fiddler was in Harlesden. When she first came on stage, initially it felt a little bit embarrassing like watching somebody's granny in a Judy Dench haircut trying to dance with the youngsters at a wedding.
After a couple of tracks the magic of the music took over and by the end I was calling for more like the rest of the audience.
The song list was everything from Breaking Glass, plus Hanging Around - from Cover Plus, Decadent Days - From Sons and Lovers and for the encore rocked up version Spancill Hill - From Smile.
The Sax player also deserves a special mention for her playing. She really nailed the emotion of the music.
For those of you who are interested apparently Hazel will be back in London, playing with a different band in May (hopefully in a venue that's not seated), so keep your eyes open.
