Hide AdHer songs speak of the everyday but are so well constructed as to be incredibly powerful. As well as playing tracks from the new album, Julie took requests from the audience, bringing out songs from her back catalogue, Tailor from her 2009 record I Can Wonder What You Did With Your Day worth a special mention.
