With a colourful mix bag audience, I began creating high expectations about the universality of her music.   Up first, however, was supporting act Piers Twomey. I... Read More

Four years on the scene has been long enough for RvP to rid themselves of a few extraneous influences, and as a result their second effort is a much more cohesive whole than 2009 debut Daughter of Sunshine. All those late night gigs have helped recalibrate their sound, and Let Music & Bodies Unite is testament to the gradual toggle of the switch from melody to party. The mess of intertwined... Read More
