Brandi Carlile at Heaven

Brandi Carlile

Way back in November 2007 I saw Brandi Carlile play what I believe was her first ever London show on the tour for her second album, The Story. It was at the much-missed Borderline and for the encore she played a version of Leonard Cohen's Hallelujah that was definitely based on Jeff Buckley's version (she may have ever said as much).

Hyde Park, 12 July 2024

It seems the only way you can see Stevie Nicks live in London these days is to take a trip to Hyde Park in the summer, as this is now her third time playing here, only this time she has made her way up the bill to headliner finally. So, once again, was it worth standing all day in a crowded park for?
