Washington

Now, here is a top performer ...an artist.  Megan Washington.  An individualist.  I have never seen anything like this.  An accomplished musician, writer and leader of her band.

I immediately liked Megan Washington - because she sings and plays with a feisty individuality and talent.  I thought she was brilliant and a breath of fresh doo-dah after some of the other stuff I have been listening to.


Full-on, no bollocks, no punches pulled; saying it how she sees it.  Sure some numbers carry a few riffs but it's not you know, pop;  she reminded me of Billie Holiday the first time I heard "Strange Fruit". Luved her. 


I felt quite gutted when she had finished, I guess because although I was crawling all over the stage with my camera, trying not to trip over amps and wiring, I was captured by her music.  Ever tried taking a great shot when yer fingers are popping, you can't keep still and yer feet start a-movin' around ?
