ITC09: Cate Le Bon @ Cellar Vie

It appears that a lot of the ITC crowd have got wind of another 'must see' elsewhere in the city, which is a damn shame as it means that Cate Le Bon is playing to a sparsely filled bar. For some reason her set feels a bit more direct than last time we saw her properly at Green Man, though this makes her Nico-esque tones come even more into focus. When she isn't having to put Mr Sweet Baboo in his place, Cate is really quite chatty, which makes for a lovely set. There a definite allusions to sounds of the wonderful Welsh Sain label, which we really like. Warm vintage keyboards, beautiful vocals and a lovely nature - ace.
