Mat invited me to this gig months before and I had the most magical evening! It was one of those perfect summer days - with clear air and clear blue skies. The Tall ship sits on the Clyde, and inside the bowels of the old ship I found the most intimate venue, with guitars and banjos and other fretted instruments set on their stands. The below deck is painted pale yellow, sloping off to the port side, and making one feel we may be off at sea on this old vessel. Kirsty’s songs feel light and easy, but are full of mystery and clever meanings. Mat is a lively shadow to Kirsty’s serene calm – yet she has a questioning edge to her voice. Kirsty and Matt were supported by well known Scottish songstress Karine Powart and the very talented Inge Thomspon.
