Tonight, was a return to Wilton’s Music Hall to see Saint Saviour bare a little bit more of her soul to an enthralled audience. Heavily pregnant, this was to be one of her last gigs before the arrival of her first child. At one point I could clearly she fought back tears. The songs on this album clearly mean a lot to her.

Support for the evening came from Emma Hughes and Lyla Foy. Emma was really bland. Lyla Foy was better but I’ll reserve judgement until I’ve seen her in a more intimate venue as she was stuck at the back of the very large Wilton’s stage.

Support on the evening was from Bill Ryder-Jones who produced and arranged some of the music on the album. It was a fairly laid back set, but didn’t grab me

The gig was at one of the more suitable venues for her current album, the Tabernacle in Notting Hill. The audience had the courtesy to show respect and didn’t chat through the set.

I know Becky must get sick of seeing comparisons to Kate Bush, but it’s difficult with the latest album not to make such comparisons. The new material allows Becky to express herself more than anything she’s done before. I guess that’s the advantage of going back to basics and to write about things that mean something to you. Tonight, you felt like she meant every word she sang. All in all, a rather fine set.
