I think I am nearing audio nirvana, but don’t tell anyone.
Got her first LP from 2014, didn't realise she'd released another. Interesting, and the Jools Holland appearance was good. (But what the heck was Harry Stiles wearing???)

Gucci!
Really didn't enjoy Twiggs, however Brittany Howard was brilliant in my view.

Sony CDP XB930.
I saw her on 'Later' (twice!). Clearly she has talent, both vocal (and looking at the YouTube videos, gymnastic) - but what she does is not really my cup of tea.
Jools has always been a lousy interviewer, so when that part of the programme occurred, I use to take the opportunity to put out the bins. But with the new format and the use of guest co-presenters, it is far worse. In the edition a week before with Ronnie Wood and Imelda May, it was toe curling and a total embarrassment!

Glad you found Twigs, Marco.
I saw her live a couple of years back by chance as a friend had a ticket. Superb gig.

Yes, I think Bill Wyman did a terrible job of impersonating Ronnie Wood
Agree about the new format, doesn't do it for me. I thought the Brittany Howard performances were the best thing of the whole series. That woman certainly has some presence. Anyone who liked it should have a listen to Alabama Shakes' "Sound and Colour" album from a couple of years ago, where she was the lead singer

She’s good, but not a patch on Kylie on Graham Norton on Friday night!
