Lesley Roley has the rare gift of transporting an audience away from its daily troubles, into a calmer, more innocent place. In her songs, folk styles merge with pop music, blues and jazz, as seen to memorable effect on her startlingly original treatment of Björk’s classic “Hyperballad”. Lesley’s own compositions can be heart-rendingly poignant (“Missing“, the brand-new “Too Bad”) or hilariously vituperative (“Mr Sad”). All of these are delivered on-stage with a beguiling poise and humour.
