MY BRIGHTEST DIAMOND (London Village Underground, 28/10/14)



I've historically been more of a fan of Shara Worden when she collaborates with other people rather than doing her own thing, but this show went some way to changing that. True, her songwriting isn't always as striking as her voice, but she's one hell of a great performer (and gifted with a very charismatic band) and her new, rockier direction gives her more latitude for her natural charisma to shine. Plus, that closing cover of Peggy Lee's "Fever" in the middle of the audience was bloody brilliant.
