Friday Tonic: Sarah Gillespie Women of the World Festival 2012

Sarah Gillespie is a British-American singer and songwriter based in London. I heard about Sarah from friends of mine, however, being interested in rock music I wasn’t really sure what to expect.

So I sat down in the Clore Ballroom at Royal Festival Hall waiting for gods know what...And there she was,a lovely and down to earth Sarah with her band.I wish you could all have seen my face when I heard her singing .I was amazed by the girl’s talent; wisely written lyrics, gentle but yet a very strong vocals. Beautifully executed notes and in tune.

Her lyrics were mind blowing, as I said before, wisely written. I was able to understand her feelings and her view points on certain subjects such as politics. I was totally sewed into her performance.

I was also driven into her ‘deft finger-picking’ guitar.I haven’t seen such a good musician for a long time.It was definitely an outstanding and vivacious show and I wish you could all listen to her music.
