Sweet melodies and cracking lyrics
MIK SABIERS relishes an evening with an artist that has set her stall on challenging tradition

Kate Nash
EartH Theatre, London 




 

DISCOVERED on MySpace, signed up and spat out by the music industry, a fervent feminist empowering community and challenging industry and political norms, Kate Nash continues to evolve. 

Appearing on a set dressed like some kind of warped Wonka factory, with the Pure Imagination theme as the taped intro, Kate Nash receives a more than warm welcome as she takes to the stage ahead of the release of new album, 9 Sad Symphonies.
