Last night Graham and I went to see Rozi Plain playing at Mono. I nearly didn't go, feeling tired and grumpy and demotivated, but am so glad that I did. Wow! She was just so good - so, so good - and we had a lovely evening, drinking some beer and basking in the beautiful sounds. And we got a seat! Sitting down at a gig is my dream scenario :)
This cover of a Shirley Collins song was new to me. Beautiful. I've always been more of a fan of Rozi's upbeat songs, but it was the slower numbers that really struck me when she sang live, especially Red Dot, which she sang as an encore, all on her own on stage, just her voice and her guitar making something so incredible to hear. I'm feeling all inspired to create...something (?) now.
Her support band, Yama Warashi, were really fun too. Well, I thought so anyway - they kind of divided our party of two! Rozi Plain sang backing vocals for them and then they came back on stage as the band for Rozi, which gave the evening such a lovely, friendly feel.

What a good night, just what I needed to spark my soul back into action.
