ellie gowers at st george’s…

I went along to St George’s again last night for a concert by folk-singer, song-writer Ellie Gowers. Living so close to St George’s, it’s great to be able wander out from our apartment and, within 5 minutes, be at this lovely concert venue.
Actually, I felt something of a fraud to be attending the concert… I’d never previously come across Gowers, but was initially attracted for three reasons(!): a) the gig tickets were only £10, b) it was being held in the Glass Studio (I’d not previously been to a concert there), and c) watching a couple of videos on Gowers’ website called to mind the voice of an English Joni Mitchell/Judy Collins (I know!).
In the event, it was an absolutely beautiful concert (in front of an audience of some 70 people?)… I was hugely impressed. Gowers – from Warwick, but who studied Music at Bristol for 3 years – is an incredibly gifted musician. A wonderful, pure voice. She plays the guitar quite beautifully… and she can write some rather wonderful songs (and perform other people’s songs probably far better than they can).
She sang for some 75 minutes and she was very, very good.
A really lovely evening.
