Introducing - Marika Hackman

I came across Marika Hackman by chance when I went to see the supporting Bella Spinks at Komedia in Brighton on the first date of Marika's first headline tour on November 26th. Lout Promotions.
A self confessed slightly awkward stage presence between songs; quickly vanishes as each song quickly swept the intimate audience into silence. Marika has a very strong and seemingly effortless tone to her voice which is interesting and soothing. I would absolutely love to see her accompanied by a band!
There was a real sense of early Laura Marling performances about her.
She got a well deserved encore, but declared that she had no more songs and would learn some more.

Certainly an artist I'll be keeping an eye on and seeing again very soon...

I've made a podcast!

First go at this, so I hope it's not too shabby...

Depending on feedback, I may return with a guest to interview and get a live session from.
