A lot has been written about the very promising young talent that is Jillian Banks. As far as I could find out, apart from a stint supporting The Weeknd last year, this was one of her very first ever shows over here.
By all accounts, photo passes have been really hard to come by for her shows, and I had the (very small) pit to myself alongside the in house photographer.
The lighting behind her was stunning and very ethereal. The lighting in front of her was, well, lacking. It did however make for interesting silhouettes like this one, along with good opportunities for nice wide shots.
I rarely take in the sound of a performance, which may sound odd, but all my senses are concentrated on the image in front of me. But tonight I did listen, and I was mightily impressed by Banks’ beautiful vocals. I expect she’ll go far, and I wouldn’t be at all surprised to see her playing much larger venues the next time she’s here.
