Lily Allen with La Roux - Live Review - March 09

Thursday 19th March - Southampton Guildhall

The role of a support act has two main purposes; warm up the crowd and lay the atmospheric foundations for the night ahead. The choice of La Roux as the support act for 22 year old queen of myspace Lily Allen was a well engineered move that enabled the evening to slide slightly left-field of the quirky pop (with a truck load of banter) that many expected.

5 Mac books, two synth-mac players and a selection of neon lights graced the stage. The music began and the stage was still empty. Cue Elly Jackson. Striding onto the stage with a golden knee length, large collared jacket, tight trousers and her character defining quiff, she grabbed the mic and with seconds to spare launched into current single In For The Kill. With a voice as strong live as it is on her recordings, her tom boy-ish charm took only a little time to morph into a stylish confidence, and she proceeded to soar through a 6 track set that blended stripped down synth-led melody with her distinctive voice.
