From the minute we arrived at the venue our night was off to an interesting start. We were taken into the venue by Gin’s manager, which is normal for us, however we were taken straight to the security at the pit and after a kind word from the manager the security guards granted us pit access for Gin’s set without a photo pass and this made for the beginning of a very exciting night.

We weren't in the venue for too long before Gin made her way on to the stage and she kicked off the night with her song the upbeat song ‘Black Sheep’ from her new album ‘Gravel & Wine’. The rest of her set was full of energy and upbeat and exciting melodies and Gin played through songs from her new album that included ‘Dirty Love’, ‘Kill Of  The Night’, ‘Man Like That’ and ‘Sweet Hell’ the set also included ‘One Last Look’ and ‘Oh My’ from her debut album ‘Holy Smoke’. From the start to the end of her set Gin was full of energy and she did not stop dancing the entire time she was on stage. Gin put the entire crowd in a fantastic mood and her stage presence and energy got everyone in the room pumped in preparation for Train to make their way to the stage.

Later on in the night Gin returned to the stage to perform ‘Bruises’ with Train, she took over the vocals in the song which were originally performed by country singer Ashley Monroe. The duet between Train’s leading man Pat Monahan and Gin Wigmore was performed beautifully and yes, there was more dancing from Gin during this song. Gin spent so much of the night dancing that it prompted Pat to make the comment “I don’t think she’s stopped dancing since she was like seven or something” as Gin made her way off the stage after the duet.

Gin Wigmore is a very talented musician and song writer with amazing vocal abilities, sounding a bit like Duffy but a whole lot better. This was the first time we have seen Gin performing live and we loved her stage presence and how much energy she had throughout the whole night. If you haven’t seen Gin live before we would like to say - Get a ticket to the next show she is playing near you it’s a night you wont forget.

Misty Miller

Type- Single Review

Title- Girlfriend

By- Misty Miller

South London based singer-songwriter Misty Miller has been writing her own songs since she was eight years old. Misty draws her inspitation from great artists such as Iggy Pop and The Stooges, The Velvet Underground and Patti Smith. At the age of 15 Misty recorded and released her first album, which went on to sell 60,00 copies and allowed her to work with other fantastic artists.

Now Misty is signed to Sony label Relentless, she will be continuing her success with her new single ‘Girlfriend’. Due to Mistys musical inspirations there is no surprise that this new single is full of 70’s rock guitar melodies and drum beats. The song relativly simple however saying that the simplicty of this song seems to be what makes it work. The tone of Misty’s vocals is what gives the song it’s edge and makes unique compaired to a lot of bands and singers that are out at the moment.

Misty Miller is one of those artist that through the fantastic combination of her vocal ablilities and musical style will always stand apart from the crowd. We can see Misty having an amazing musical career ahead of her. So we would just like to say keep up the amazing work and keep the fantastic songs coming and we look forward to the release of Misty’s EP.

If you havent heard of Misty’s music before be sure to check her out on facebook, much love Life is Music TV.
