Gigs of the Year # 2 Courtney Barnett at Northumbria University


Courtney Barnett has been the most constantly re-occurring contemporary artist I've written about over the last five and a half years on this blog. Last night I saw her, for the third time in Newcastle. The difference this time was that not only was she great, (she had been both previous times that I saw her in smaller venues), but that she was evidently now a star! Pleasingly, she played a set that cherry-picked from her career of seven years or so as a recording artists, back to her earliest EPs. She also played a beautiful cover version of The Go Betweens Streets of Your Town, which was both loving, respectful and renewing. She continues to go from strength to strength!
