Exceptional gig from Jesca Hoop in The Academy 2 last night in Dublin. Sometimes a talented person needs a bigger audience and she is one of those people. You may have seen her on Other Voices during the week. If not, Galway people – she plays tonight and Belfast tomorrow. Her album Hunting My Dress is a favourite of the last few months.

She was so amazing. I wish I’d spoken to her after the gig, at the very least to find out where she got her skirt. Amazing in every way.
I like the new image finder. Cheesy cure booyah!
Songs sounded equally good live – stripped down as they were. Chatted to her beforehand and she’s as engaging in person as she was on stage – interview going out on the show next week and will be up on the ‘oul blog after.
Amazing voice 🙂 so pure
