Went to see Laufey in Manchester tonight as she’s squirrel jr no.1’s favourite artist.

I was deeply impressed. Absolutely phenomenal talent with emotional punch - she’s this generation’s Tori Amos. Despite having a great band, the strongest moments were just her and a piano holding 20000 people entranced.

Oh, and Jeff Goldblum turned up and did a jazz standard with her too.

She’s a pretty darned good cellist as well..
