The Philharmonic Hall may have had 2,000 souls looking on in praise and devotion in July when Sophie Anderson took to the stage in support to Rosanne Cash, however the voice that haunts and cuts through any atmosphere with its sheer deep resonance is equally at home when performing to a vocal and happy crowd at District as part of the Hope Fest weekend.

Sophie Anderson, Gig Review. Philharmonic Hall, Liverpool.

Twenty-Four hours is a long time in which to go from one extreme to other in terms of music venues to perform in as a musician. In much the same way that someone who spent a month exploring the depths of life on the ocean floor somewhere in the middle of Atlantic Ocean and is suddenly given to chance to go up as high as possible in aircraft flying over the same site, the perspective is daunting and wonderfully demanding; yet it a challenge that is strived for and achieved because that is what it means to be Human.

There was a time when Sophie Anderson might have thought that the day had gone well to be called up at the last minute and asked if she was free to do a set at The Lomax. However, so much can happen in two and a half years, so much can take place and what was considered bountiful and awe-inspiring can undergo such transformation that the musical butterfly with a voice somewhere between Grace Slick and Marcella Detroit has become even more needed as a guide vocal, a motivation to young women everywhere and the voice; the voice has become rapturous.

As last minute replacements go, to find the exceptional Sophie Anderson standing on stage ready to blow the audience away in one fell swoop constitutes the beginnings of a very fine evening out.

Sophie Anderson may have found herself at a loose end on a Sunday evening in the biting cold that has come back for a second go this winter but once inside the Lomax on Cumberland Street there was no stopping this young woman from showing her magnificent vocal range that wonderfully left people taken aback in its animalistic brutal sensational quality.
