Liverpool Sound and Vision Rating 8.5/10

In the end it is how you approach life that makes you stand out, despite what the day may throw at you, no matter the events leading up to the moment you take the stage upon; you glare in to the lights, you see the audience’s own hopes and dreams reflected back at you, and you sing and perform as if the world and its consequences don’t matter. For the point is simple, you do everything in your power to sing as if you are bringing the night to an end at Madison Square Garden, that you are saying Goodnight Manhattan.

The world may be in a mess, a state of confusion and disorder in which we are permanently told to feel afraid, to be watchful, to not engage or try to change, that being fearful of the person next to you is natural and to always trust those in charge because, like children, we cannot be trusted to make a difference, that we must follow blindly the excepted so called leadership.

In such a short time Satin Beige has become one of those performers in Liverpool that you look up to with huge respect and the abiding knowledge that all is well in the world. For whilst this woman can sing and play cello with the passion reserved for the angry, the displaced and the brave, then the world will surely keep turning and heeding her words of youthful wisdom.

Relaxed, composed and only the barest hint of the immensity that resides in her fingers showing as they strain at the leash wanting to fly with the same feeling of majestic endeavour that she showed ahead of supporting Tommy Scott’s acoustic evening at Leaf in March, Satin Beige looks as if she doesn’t just want to give a performance to remember, she wants to show exactly why she is so highly regarded and so admired.

As Satin Beige finishes her support slot to Tommy Scott at Leaf, it’s possible to sit back and reflect upon a raw and flowering special talent that has just awoken many lost memories with her wonderful cello playing; exotic but with more than a hint of the moody regal nature that emanates from every pore and fibre of this young performer.

One of the ways in which to measure a person is how they can be weighed up in a situation not of their making or in the face of impossible insurmountable mounting odds; the quality of a person is not in what they eat, what they wear or how much stuff, gadgets, cost of house, money or seeming how popular they are after they have bought a round of drinks but in how they cope with a new challenge being thrown at them there and then on the spot and the power of how they are viewed.
