Julia Jacklin at the Roundhouse

Julia Jacklin

Erin Rae

Roundhouse, 11 November 2022

I admit was late to the party for Julia Jacklin, only discovering her after her second album Crushing was already getting rave reviews. But I loved it from first listen and was desperate to see her live. Unfortunately a lot of others felt the same way and had discovered her earlier so her tour at the time was sold out. Luckily, three years on I finally got the chance to experience her live and it was well worth the wait and the cherry on top was the fact that the brilliant Erin Rae was also on the bill.

Goodbye, Mimi Parker

Very sad to hear of the death of Mimi Jo Parker of the band Low, who passed away yesterday after a long battle with cancer. Low's Christmas EP has always been very special to me and I feel very, very lucky to have see them perform much of it at a magical show at the Union Chapel back in 2016, which is pictured above. She was just 55, far too young. Rest in peace, dear Mimi and thank you for so many wonderful Christmas memories.
