aww Isn't she lovely?
Enchanting!
Trailer Park is one of my all time fave albums, great to hear her doing some live intimate songs here.
Such a sweet, close-up performance. Really really lovely.
Wow this is beautiful.. thanks dig!
wonderful set. really loving the new song and; great renditions of two of her classics. looking forward to her new LP!!!
Lovely new track and excited about the new album. I look forward to seeing Beth in the UK later in the year. Thanks for posting the set :-)
Beth is a fav, but saw her live a couple of weeks ago - not so good, in comparison the previous gigs, bit off note vocally and quite a few bung notes on the guitar, shenkept forgetting to speak directly into the mike so people at the back couldn't hear her. Probably just needed a bit more rehearsal.
