Nightshift gig review: June 2014
Where: Oxford Art Bar
When: May 8th
Line-up: ROBOT SWANS / OP21 / REUBEN’S ROCKET / CHARLIE LEAVY
Reviewer: Art Lagun
“True to form the first act tonight proves to be the most interesting. Charlie Leavy makes a big impact with just her voice and an acoustic guitar, sounding more California than her native Hook Norton. Relentlessly upbeat, one great song follows another, catchy tunes with straightforward yet personal lyrics like the poignant ‘Tongue Tied’. Only seventeen, she writes and performs with frank simplicity that comes as a breath of vitalising air, her take on Pixie Lott’s ‘Mama Do’ trouncing the original.”
