best instand gratification:marques toliver at leighton house. found out about marques over the weekend and saw him last night at the gorgeously ornate leighton house. shar's a fan of musical performances in unique spaces. maybe that's why i love vincent moon, yours truly, la blogotheque and black cab sessions so.
marques was ever so sweet and earnest, as he performed new and old ditties to a captivated audience of 170. we even provided backing harmonies for "white sails".
he ain't no basia but can strum like catherine o'hara in "a mighty wind"
belated discovery: marques toliver. saw him perform on jools holland over the weekend and was blown away by the performance.
he has played with tv on the radio and bat for lashes. he has even gotten thumbs up from adele. why shar has snoozed on him is shameful. don't miss out on a truly unique talent against a platter of cookie cutter acts. some might compare him to andrew bird because they both are in the wacky violin arena, but his style almost is a post-modern baroque. london folk he is playing the lexington on 11 november.
