Anna Calvi

Anna Calvi. Absolutely nailed on.

If in doubt, listen to "Swimming Pool" from her latest and tell me that's not more Bond that Sam Smith could even dream about

I find ‘As a Man’ quite irritating.

Clicked on expecting something about Roberto Calvi's wife, but not to be also subsequently found out that he's wife's name is Clara anyway :cry: :D

For anyone who doesn't know who Roberto Calvi was here's Wiki's view https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Roberto_Calvi" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

It was a big story at the time and the mystery of his death went on for years.

I really liked her first (self titled) album, the 2nd one (One Breath) less so & didnt get the most recent one. She's certainly got a good team working on the video promos of her stuff though, they are always attention grabbing and in line with the track, my favourite is (from her first album)

Prefer small venues.
Imagine someone like her would go down well.

We saw her playing a gig in Manchester Cathedral around 2011/2012. Brilliant performer - good voice and a decent guitarist.

I nearly read that wiki link. Friday nights aren't what they used to be
