You cannot take back what was said yesterday, it hangs in the air of conversations and gossip-monger’s hearts as they find ways to bring you down to their level of insecurity or passionless existence. What you may have said, what your thoughts were being dictated to at the time may be of little consequence to the outside world, after all, the muse requires feeding, and rarely with a closed mind or mouth; and yet those that hold onto a word indefinitely if it means they have something to beat you with, the misspoken word said in jest can soon become a poison that keeps on giving.

As Kate Nash motored her way through a rather superb set at the newly opened East Village Arts Club, there was surely nobody in the excitable audience that couldn’t see how much the artist had grown as a performer and as a woman. The evidence was there for all to hear with the release of her third album, the exceptional Girl Talk, and yet somehow if that demonstration of womanhood was somehow and unlikely missed by the listener, anyone making their way to the plush new surrounds that house the East Village would have seen the corroboration with their own eyes.

It wasn’t that long ago that Kate Nash was thought of quirky, a new voice to enjoy whilst it possibly lasted and more than likely she would do well to get a couple of albums under her belt but gradually fade away. Something then happened to make that possibility a mere inconsequence, she became a female voice of a generation and for that music lovers should be grateful.

It’s been quite a while since Kate Nash played in Liverpool but on the strength of her audience that attended her show at the Stanley Theatre at the University of Liverpool, it may have only been last month since she parked her guitar and trademark keyboard on the stage, such was the excitement generated by the young songwriter.
Arriving on stage in a pastiche of one of her song titles Mariella, all dressed in black and looking mysterious and with two Mickey Mouse ears on for good measure, she produced a set of stunning quality and with just the right amount of social commentary thrown in to keep the crowd happy.
