Huw Stevens’ championed newcomers Evening Chorus tap neatly into the current affectation for all things whimsical and folky, turning out new EP Acorn that feels like a natural companion to Dry The River’s forthcoming debut effort.
Blue Stone Heart is tender, sweet – an organic opening to an EP that sounds profusely organic. Four Corners ups the pace, a rollicking, rambling ditty of a track that leans closer to Mumford & Sons with its big, hearty verses. Only five tracks long it might be, but Evening Chorus’ Acorn EP is a real meal of an EP, richly fulfilling beyond its short running time.
Everyone loves Jessie J right now. Even if you're not the biggest fan of her music, there's something so wonderfully charming and down to earth about her personality that you can't help but fall for her a little.
It's also fair to say she's had Quite A Lot of success this year already with her first three singles storming up the charts - her latest, Nobody's Perfect is finally out 'properly' this week with some bonus remixes/alternate versions on iTunes.
Best of all though is that the delightful Jessie has announced a whole heap of new UK tour dates. The rush for her last tour was absolutely mad; venues like London were sold out in under fifteen minutes - so if you didn't manage to catch her last time, now's your chance - just remember to be quick!
And just as a footnote, it's amazing to see Jessie already including an arena date on her tour like Cardiff - a real sign of how far she's already come.
The new UK tour dates are as follows:
OCTOBER
MONDAY 17 BIRMINGHAM O2 ACADEMY
WEDNESDAY 19 DONCASTER DOME
FRIDAY 21 MANCHESTER O2 APOLLO
SATURDAY 22 LIVERPOOL UNIVERSITY
SUNDAY 23 BOURNEMOUTH BIC
TUESDAY 25 EDINBURGH USHER HALL
WEDNESDAY 26 BRIDLINGTON SPA
THURSDAY 27 PLYMOUTH PAVILIONS
MONDAY 29 CARDIFF MOTORPOINT ARENA
SUNDAY 30 LEEDS O2 ACADEMY
NOVEMBER
TUESDAY 01 LONDON HMV HAMMERSMITH APOLLO
THURSDAY 03 BRIGHTON CENTRE
