Little World Festival Support!

It's finally snowing in Meribel!! So greetings from the snowy mountains..

I've picked up a review from the writers at Beat Surrender this week:

This shitty weather started some time last July and hasn’t looked like moving on since, and I’m starting to need something a bit brighter, a bit happier, well just something with a bit of colour, up beat or even down beat if its offering something a bit warmer and friendly then most.

And like a beautiful light night BBQ with the sun shining, I stumble across Daisy B, now trying to find anything on the net about her is turning into an impossible task due to them tossers from Virgin providing a 10meg service that runs at 64K.

Imagine if you could some up the best of British soulful ladies without all the bitching, back stabbing, paparazzi and drug taking shenanigans, then you’ll be happy to meet Daisy B, as this lassie can definitely croon with the best of them, as shown on debut alum This Town, with soul magic Keep on Pushing (think Joss Stone without the dickhead logo), yep its really that good.

Other stand out tracks are Sympathy and This Town, but its on Ashes that the lady excels more than a Microsoft office package, no seriously, it’s a quality little number that keeps your attention gripped and wanting more, and on Found a Place, the mood turns to sadness and heartbreak, but don’t let this put you off, this little folky number is done as well as anything I’ve heard from the splendid Beth Orton or Laura Marling.

When I fnally do get on her MySpace I see that Daisy has recently got some air play via the excellent BBC Introducing, and let’s hope we get some more valuable minutes on the airwaves or digital stations for what could be one of the next best things.

 A support slot at  Meribel Live : The Little World Festival has also been confirmed this week with Squeeze for more details on where to book tickets click here.
