Look What You Do, Oh Ruby Blue

How amazing is this woman. (Rhetorical question of course)
Ms Róisín Murphy (pronounced Row-shin) gave to the people of London 2 hours of music from her album and EPs. Everything was delivered with her usual magnificent stage persona.
The 7 musicians on stage transformed the album's minimalistic Matthew-Herbert-inspired sound into music for stage consumption: louder and stronger.

Róisín played the catchiest songs from the album, "sow into you", "ruby blue", the new single (out next week) "if we're in love", and the absolutely fantastic and a bit Moloko-y "ramalama (bang bang)" which Tom and I decided it should be the next single from the album, "dear diary", well basically all the others.

The show finished with her saying goodbye while singing "the closing of the door". Lovely.

Everyone was expecting something brilliant, like the album is. I don't think anyone went away thinking they had got anything less than utter brilliance.

[well it should've had a little bit less of percussion in some of the songs, but apart from that, v v good.]
