Venue: Stokey Stop
Date: 10 June 2014
A packed Stokey Stop basement, full of a mix of birkenstocks and vest tops, awaited in high anticipation an intimate performance from Heather Peace, officially kicking off her UK tour to support the release of second album The Thin Line.
It was up close and personal as the venue set up meant the audience got to look Peace right in the eye. Awesome acoustics, smouldering summer heat and mood lighting really gave the feel of intimacy and for added a special atmospheric feeling to the set.
Peace was on fire, with stunning vocals, moody piano and a delicate guitar. Opening with good humour and appreciation of her fans, then the title track of the second album, Peace set the tone for the hour long set.
From pounding the keys on the dark Dance with the Devil to the two romantic numbers, including In my arms dedicated to civil partner Ellie, Peace wowed, and then had everyone on their feet with her cover of Girls Just Want to Have Fun. A particular highlight was the best friend dedication House for your broken heart that many of the audience clearly related to. The final anthemic (and also first single off the album).
We Can Change uplifted the crowd to a high energy ending. There was a very personal feel to all the songs, and Peace's interaction with the crowd, which certainly seemed to please.
And it wasn't over even then, with generous time devoted by Peace to a meet and greet with most of the audience, upstairs afterwards.
