Imogen Heap at the Komedia

Wednesday night found me, Rich and Kelly downstairs at the Komedia to see Imogen Heap on the Brighton date of her first UK tour for eight years. I'd been waiting to see her play live for ages and she didn't disappoint - this turned out to be an early contender for gig of the year in my opinion. What was particularly cool was that the audience directly in front of the stage remained seated on the floor throughout, which allowed those stood at the back and sides to see clearly - always a problem downstairs as the stage is only a foot high! Immi was joined by cellist (and support artist) Zoe Keating for a couple of songs, but otherwise did everything herself, with her bank of keyboards, samplers and laptop. Her amazing strong voice carried each song perfectly, sending shivers down my spine during Hide And Seek, and I was surprised at how well the tracks translated live. Her setlist was dominated by songs off Speak For Yourself but she also played one track from the Frou Frou and I Megaphone albums, her song from the Chronicles Of Narnia soundtrack, plus the new b-side from her forthcoming Goodnight And Go single. A fantastic evening!
