MARTHA WAINWRIGHT (Shepherd’s Bush Empire, 28/10/08)

A prime example of why patience is a virtue. Apparently the second half of Martha’s gig was fantastic, with the superior Wainwright sibling showcasing her marvellously soulful vocals and intensely personal lyrics, tied together with unusual vibrancy and charisma. Alas, I left half way through, underwhelmed by her apparent transformation into AN Other Alt-Country Songstress, which no number of special guests or cute dresses could disguise.
