In Photos: Laetitia Sadier, Valerie Francis, Si Shroeder, Great Lakes Mystery @ The Grand Social, Dublin (11.02.2011)
Accompanied by a ridiculously packed bill (and that's not even counting Andy Votel on the decks), Laetitia Sadier made up for the postponement of her December show by sharing the stage with some of the best local talent at Dublin's Grand Social on Friday night. First to support the Stereolab lady was the intriguing Great Lakes Mystery - the new project of drummer Gareth Averill, who was followed by Valerie Francis, with the Choice Prize nominated singer managing the impressive feat of silencing a drunken end-of-week crowd with some new songs (they were literally two days old). Sadier then gave a brilliantly emotive, stripped down set of material from her solo album The Trip before Si Schroeder's wall of sound closed the night late on, leaving us with the distinct impression that his next album should really be something indeed. Colm Kelly caught them all and for a slideshow of his shots, just click on any of the images below.
