Well last night was truely awesome! Just Carina and an acoustic guitar - I forget how unbelievable she is solo but last night was a new level.
Support came from Gemma Quarterman and Ben Drummond.
I forget Carina's setlist (She didn't have one) but opened with 'For Everything A Reason' The room was so silent you could hear a pin drop in the toilets i think. Her first words on stage were "It's very very very very very very very very nice to be home again". She started playing and stopped adding that she was 'Nervous", and admittedly she did look like a rabbit in headlights for a split second.
The gig as a whole was awesome. The forth song in, someone called out for 'Ribbons' and she just said 'ok' and played it. She had forgotten the words but the way she played it whilst remembering was so beautiful. The crowd were really supportive too.
In no particular order from memory we got:
For Everything A Reason
Do You
Thief In The Sky
Backseat
Ribbons
How I See It
Monument
Into My Blood
Shoot
Motel 74
Lacuna
Paris
Stolen Car
January Heart
Down Slow
Got To Go
Let It Fall
She brought a new light to 'Backseat' by saying that she wrot it with Gary Go. And that the day they wrote it they went to see her Nan and i won;t go into personal details but before they left, she called Gary over and whisperd something to her and apparantly yhe words were "God told me it's forever". She said that just had to go into the song. By the end of the performance she was wiping away tears *god bless her*
Another highlight was she had a multipack bag of crisps on stage which was full of crisps and chocolate and she kept throwing them into the crowd!!! I got hit in the face by some crisps at one point - but all good!
There may have been a couple more - i recorded it but the quality is shocking had all he levels set wrongly which i am soooo annoyed about
but hey. She was signing things after the gig but i had to go.
Merchandise was:
Things You Should Know £5
Disconnection £10
T-shirt £10
Tote Bag £10
She also said she's playing the 28th July at the Birmingham Jam House with Ben Drummond at his local only act acoustic night - it's free!
I took some pictures also and at some point will review it properly!
