The amazing Florence and the Machine will be playing a special headline show at London’s Shepherds Bush Empire.
The buzz surrounding 21-year-old Florence Welch and her mutable band mates (The Machine) has grown in the past few months, with the Critic’s Choice Brit Award tipping her for the top in 2009.
Observer ‘She’s blessed with an astonishingly expressive voice, which can quickly switch from haunting whisper to harridan shriek.’… ‘Her tales of passion and revenge owe more to American artists like Regina Spektor and Cat Power.’
The Times ‘A 20 year old musical descendant of Bessie Smith.’ … ‘Blessed with a jaw-dropping blues voice that seems impossible coming from one so young and so skinny.’
Dazed & Confused ‘With a voice so hauntingly captivating you can feel it in your stomach, the skinny south Londoner and her trusted musical machine make some seriously beautiful noise.’
AnOther ‘With a voice that can alternately lull the dawn chorus or turn blue skies black, Florence Welch has been waking London’s dreary scenes up to what one ambitious young woman can do.’
NME ‘There’ll be nothing as exciting this summer as watching this brilliant girl and her machine’
Independent ‘a soul blues voice that can rival Sixties Motown singers, never mind her peers.’
