Supporting the excellent Ida Maria, VV Brown was a breath of fresh air after the first act, BirdPen's unedited navel gazing sub-thrash prog rock. Her energetic style and catchy tunes soon lifted the mood of the crowd and visibly swelled the numbers in the pit.  Dashing through her numbers in the tiny 30 minute slot allocated VV even managed to cram in two versions of her then single, "Crying Blood", the second reggae version bringing whoops of joy from the crowd. Mention must also be made of her backing group, who manage to be the perfect foil for her energy and verve whilst holding out personalities of their own. On the whole a refreshing surprise as I had gone to see the headline act and had no expectations of the support. I'm now a confirmed fan.

See her at Lovebox tomorrow - can't wait! just bought her album Travelling like the Light - love it
