LIVE: Emmy The Great
AS the snow beats down on Cardiff, the Emmy The Great show rolls into town.
A air of love and melancholy descends on the crowd as the band, who are introduced by a self-consciously attractive brown-haired girl as Hank Wangford And The Lost Cowboys, appear onstage.
Kicking off with opener Bad Things Are Coming, We Are Safe, the crowd are blessed with a terrific slice of unfeasibly sweet acoustopop.
Emmy plays guitar and is backed by the usual beat combo accoutrements as well as keyboards and violin, played by a fresh-faced youngster who mirrors Emmy's vocal with a beautiful, honey-drizzled croon.
From live favourites to album tracks from the soon-to-be-released First Love, Emmy The Great have the perfect set. Highlight On The Museum Island is touching and heartfelt, while Dylan is bouncy and sweet.
But, although the songs are wondrous, there is something special about getting to know this delightful girl through her own observations.
With her smooth vocals, quirky lyrics and snappy dialogue, Emmy has created the perfect warming atmosphere to melt hearts.
