Tuesday 26th October
Laura Rose
@ Ronnie Scotts
On the first floor, above the world famous Ronnie Scott’s Jazz Club is Ronnie’s Bar. This is awesome. It was designed by the French architect Jacques Garcia and is used today for the same reason it was used for by the founders; to showcase new talent. Its walls have bare witness to some of the greatest jazz musicians in history and this Tuesday it was home to the quaint tenderness of Laura Rose Dickson. Her delicate eyes peer down at the floor, before locking her gaze onto the mesmerized many who have formed a tight half moon around the edge of her spotlight. Her lyrics are truly sincere, and Laura engages an audience the way any performer should. The faint occasional falter of her voice goes unnoticed, because her natural talent is extraordinary.
Laura’s story is inspiring; after an injury that saw her unable to play the Cello again, she picked up a guitar with an untiring passion and began to play. We can’t help but watch Laura and be gleefully reminded of Sandy Dennie, yet her whispers of folk present subtle memories of Diane Cluck and Joanna Newsom.
Laura Rose and her 7-piece band are delightful and we are excited she will be playing Populace, and certainly will be a highlight in the winter twilight.
