Our second of the normally distanced postponed gigs, following Kathryn Tickell and after giving Eddie Reader a miss. As with the last time we saw here she played in a trio with Steven Polwart on guitar and Inge Thompson on Accordion plus a range of other small instruments from electric drums to triangles. The music was somehow both complex and gently soothing at the same time. A blend of simple instrument sounds and voices blended beautifully. The set list was varied and interesting - a lot of songs that Karine wrote or co-wrote but also some covers including a song (probably called 'Heavenly Shore') from Michael Marra, a Scot Hutchinson, Frightened Rabbit song , 'Swim until you can't see Land' and a stupendous version of 'Video Killed the Radio Stars'. The song that most hit home to me was her version of the Sydney Carter classic 'The Crow on the Cradle'. Of her songs 'Follow the Heron Home' was brilliant and she did a 'cover version' of Bruce Molsky's cover version of her own song 'Daisy' which was lovely. Inge's strange solo song was also very enjoyable a mixture of a song featuring unusual singing and voices and a sort of reel or jig. All in all very enjoyable.
