Her singing was flawless on the night, but I think she needs to work on her stage presence a bit as the evening felt a bit subdued at times not helped by a very laid back audience who didn't really get involved. Also some people insisted on carrying on full blown conversations and laughing loudly during the quieter moments. Personally I was pleased she sang almost exclusively the second album and just 3 from her debut as in my opinion it is a far superior body of work. . On the whole I enjoyed the show, 4 out 5 for me too

Wonderful harmonies, great songs and a lovely relaxed, intimate atmosphere. This was one of the best gigs I've been to in years and will live long in the memory. Just a pity about the a***holes who thought it was hilarous to shout at the band instead of letting them get on with it. Looking forward to them returning next year with some new songs

Thoroughly enjoyed the gig, musically they were right on the button and the reception the crowd gave the band was stunning. One of the best gigs I've been to in a long, long time - if you didn't catch it go on Tuesday you won't be disappointed

I agree with the reviewer, it was all a bit flat. The Academy wasn't a sell out, the crowd were a bit sudued and TW only sporadically gave us something to get excited about (quite a lot of conversations with mates during songs which is never a good sign). The first song (Lucy the Castle), and last before the encore (You Stole the Sun) were the highlights with not a lot in between other than Strife. I think it's maybe a bit too much too soon and they need to hone their stage craft in smaller venues for a while.
