With two essential voices bringing the cheer, it's the sort of night that not only soundtracks the end of an all-over-the-place 2021, but points to two artists destined for massive 2022s. Not too shabby with some mulled wine in hand.
First up is Abbie Ozard, peeling back the raw emotions and heartfelt hits that have made her a bonafide favourite around these parts. It shows a jaw-dropping side to Abbie's heart, taking the spiralling sounds of 'TV Kween' and 'Pink Sky (Endless Summer)' and showcasing their essential cores. Tales of dreaming, heartbreak and more shine bright - for a set that she herself admits is a unique one. Without a band to rip into every note, tonight feels like a glimpse into everything that makes Abbie Ozard so great. Whether it's taking things back to early single 'Crocodile Tears' or bringing it right up to date with latest track 'Grown' - it's a sign that the future is just waiting for Abbie Ozard to seize it.
After a storming run across the UK,
L Devine takes to the Colours Hoxton stage for a set bursting with community and togetherness - a special treat to celebrate with the fans who've been there at each step of her journey so far. From the moment '
Girls Like Sex' opens proceedings, the room is firmly in the palm of her hand - joking around, sharing stories and leading singalongs. It's a reminder of the already rich catalogue of stone-cold bangers that Liv has built on her ride to the top. From '
Like You Like That', to '
Boring People' and '
Can't Be You', she's an artist with her finger firmly on the pulse of the biggest of pop moments.
