Liverpool Sound and Vision Rating * * * *

There are certain musicians that when they leave the stage after a gig they leave a gaping hole so large that it never seems possible to ever fill it again. The gig may have been tremendous but that lingering presence is enough to just fill the evening with the slight tinge of regret. Imagine then the wake of rippling, surging emotions for a city who had taken a musician of sterling quality under their wing and adopted, as it is that city’s right to do so, to find that she was going to finally go back home to her native Norway. That hole for many looked deep, bleak and never ending.
