And so to bed. Gemma Hayes
is a 23-year-old with a fine line
in intimate and intense ballads, five of which are collected here. Though they're only an hors d'heurvre to her album, out next year - they reveal a voice which engages you with rare intensity, despite the fact it rarely rises above a murmur. She's new, she's acoustic, she's folked up beyond all recognition. Bitch-fight with Beth Orton for the mid-Sunday slot at Glastonbury!
