Laura Marling + Alessi's Ark + Boy and Bear

Yesterday i was finally presented with an opportunity to see indie-acoustic sensation Laura Marling on her latest tour promoting he new album "I Speak Because I Can". Unfortunately this meant i would not be treated to some of the less popular songs from her first album "Alas I Cannot Swim" but i was not disappointed as the tracks played from her new album were fantastic and now i am left with "Hope In The Air" stuck in my head.

The event was held at The Journal Tyne Theatre and was a new experience for me as i cannot recollect another show that i have had to sit down for. However being at a theatre also meant that the acoustics where fantastic and the overall sound quality was one of the best i have ever heard. Both Laura and her backing band were some of the most exceptional live singer and they ended up playing some of my favourite "Alas I Cannot Swim", "Ghosts" and "My Manic and I".

She was supported by Alessi's Ark (England based singer song writer)and Boy and Bear (Australian based Indie Band). Both of which performed to the amazing standard that Laura Marling set after them.
