Heidi Talbot, Brunton Theatre

For this tour the Irish songstress has support from a superbly talented musical trio.  The eccentrically humourous Ian Carr on guitar and backing vocals, quietly effective Toby Shaer on fiddle and whistles, and the sensitive keyboard accompaniment of Jenn Austin.  Heidi now has an extensive solo back catalogue to draw on, and the two sets mixed up older material with songs from her most recent album, traditional, contemporary and self penned.  Smart arrangements, that beautifully sweet and husky voice, audience singalongs, and plenty of laughs in the introductions.  Plus the bonus of Talbot generously removing herself from the stage a couple of times to allow the others to more fully demonstrate their talents with some tunes.  An xceelent way to spend an evening.
