Juliana Hatfield at Bush Hall, London

Any objective, incisive review of this gig went out of the window the moment I met up with Mike and we decided to head to the nearest pub. A couple of hours and four pints of cider later...

I'd never been to the Bush Hall in Shepherds Bush before, but I managed to find the venue easily enough and it's pretty cool - quite ornate and intimate, and the sound wasn't bad either. Juliana Hatfield was playing her first UK show since she toured with Teenage Fanclub back in the mid-nineties and it was just her and her guitar, that's all. She played a good mix of material from her early days in The Blake Babies and The Juliana Hatfield Three through to new songs off last year's Made In China album. She promised to return with her full band again soon - let's just hope it doesn't take her quite so long to come back this time!
