This evening I found myself at Edinburgh’s Electric Circus to review Lewis Watson. It was a slightly strange experience, the last time I was in a room with that many screaming sixteen year old girls…at a Smash Hits Poll Winners concert, I think. (Either that, or teaching. The two weren’t always so very different.)

The star

of the show, though, was support act, Kimberly Anne. Armed only with an acoustic guitar, a seriously cool haircut and a voice that can harmonise with itself -to say nothing of it belonging to a lady who can get the audience to sing in tu

ne- she delivered a set with confidence and panache that was seriously impressive. And it’s always nice to get a hug off a performer afterwards.

This is a young Londoner who’s going places -and in a world overcrowded with singer-songwriters, her debut EP

Bury It There released last September not only packs a powerful punch, but suggests t

hat there’s more to come.

I want to see her again. If theer’s any justice – we all will.
