It didn’t take long for the music to captivate me, especially Songs For The Gentle Man, which is perhaps Bridget’s most dazzling work. She has a singular style both as songwriter and vocalist and, given half a chance, her recordings will cast a quietly intense spell over you. Given that she’d long ago left London for New York, it never occurred to me that I’d a) see Bridget live and b) write about her, but both happened in fairly short order.
