@ The Toff In Town, 10 August, 2019<\/p>\n\n\n\n

WHAT AN AMAZING NIGHT… an evening out at the Toff to see The Chills<\/a> frontman Martin Phillipps<\/a> really delivered in unexpected ways…<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

First up was his amazing support, local act Sweet Whirl<\/a> who entranced during her 30 minute slot with just a bass guitar and melancholic vocal. Those on our table were blown away, not just by her astonishing original material… (songs that were just begging for a full band backing…) but also her voice… which reminded me enormously of Romeo Void’s powerhouse Debora Kay Iyall and Martha Davis from the Motels… a comparison that ain’t no bad thing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I was really hoping to catch up with her briefly at the end of the evening to find out more but apparently she’d dashed off to work… next time Esther Edquist!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
