completely agree - she was the absolute highlight of Glasto for me....fantasticly tight band and everyone was clearly loving it. what a breath of fresh air to hear and see a great soul revue (ala James Brown) as compared to all the self-obsessed nonsense and scowling of indy bands........

Outstanding! Her androgyny, energy, sheer talent and the way she mixes and matches genres from any point over the last sixty years reminds me of all the possibilities I use to see and hear in Prince.

Agree, she totally blew me away! Can't wait for the album to arrive from Amazon. Reminded me a little bit of Pauline Black from the Selecter.
