“Seminal guitarist Deirdre and her ultra-talented quartet return with a delightful live recording of nine tracks, superbly captured during a gig at London’s Vortex in November 2006…”

‘If there is a more complete guitarist in contemporary music than Deirdre Cartwright I’d like to know who it is. The prevailing style is broadly jazz-rock, but there is so much individuality in the playing that such considerations are soon forgotten. With Alison Rayner on bass, Buster Birch on drums and the vocals of Sarah P, it’s a classy piece of work.’

‘Her sinewy guitar fronts a sparse trio – with beatnik spoken-word injections from Sarah P – who stretch out like a psychedelic 1960s blues band, but take the blind leaps of faith of improvisers. Highlights are the Nirvana grunge-fusion Smells Like Jazz and a sublime exploration of Kate Bush’s Wuthering Heights.’
