Ellen Kibble – ‘Bridge Song’

Listen to

I was catching up with Sui Zhen who was in Melbourne for a few performances. She had Sunday afternoon slot at the Empress in Fitzroy and I arrived early enough to catch Ellen opening the proceedings. Her voice was just perfect for an easy afternoon day at the pub, so full of character and pleasing to the ears. She somewhat reminds me of Laura Marling. Talking to her after the show she told me that she hasn’t really been gigging for about 6 months and is only doing every now and then. I hope she picks it up a bit more because with the right songs she can really make some headway into this scene.

Gin Wigmore: 'Stealing Happiness'

Gin Wigmore – ‘Stealing Happiness’

Listen to

Couple weeks ago I saw Gin performed a very short media showcase, she was very down to earth and her stage demeanor was very far from the image that I had built based on her voice. Her manager said she’s steering away from the nu-soul angle which is a good move cos everyone will probably get tired of that soon. You can download this track for free from her website once you register your email. According to her site John Butler plays ukulele on one of her songs, and another whothehell.net favourite Pnau is planning on working with her as well, exciting!
