Laura Cantrell at Jumpin' Hot Club, Caedmon Hall, Gateshead Sat 7th May 2016

#Gadgees keenly anticipated another Laura Cantrell gig promoted by Jumpin' Hot Club, this time at the Caedmon Hall, having previously played at the Town Hall, Sage & also the Little Theatre in Gateshead,  something of a record for such a renowned American country artist.

This #Gadgee tends to lose critical faculties when seeing Laura Cantrell but she produced another peerless performance this evening with her unique voice, combining fragility & passion in equal measure.
The late, lamented John Peel made a typically generous comment about "Not the Trembling Kind" which is where I first heard her.
This gig showcased the vinyl reissue of  this album and her latest release, "Laura Cantrell at the BBC" with some tunes from Kitty Wells album.
The reciprocal warmth from stage to audience made this a gig to remember. Laura, the consummate artist delivered in style with a performance that encapsulated her early career & illustrated her love for, & knowledge of her chosen genre.
Please check out online  her radio broadcasts to hear this:

The support band, My Girl the River, provided excellent vocals from Kris Wilkinson, who joined Laura for encore.





My son, unable to attend this gig because of university exams, was happy to receive this having seen Laura  a couple of times over  the last decade.
