It may have taken three and half years and many many failed or ambushed attempts but it finally happened… I managed to see Andreya Triana perform live!  It can serve as a lesson to us all, perseverance sometimes pays off!

It turned out to be a decent show too (and worth the three and a half year wait!).  The songs and her performance had a lot more energy than I was expecting.  Her album, Lost Where I Belong, is very subtle so I did not expect to dance around half as much as I did.  No doubt she was feeling super-charged by her awesome suit complete with fluorescent camouflage – the dream was lived!    The high-energy was a teenie problem  though because the tent she played in quickly became the worlds hottest sauna.

She did strip it back from time to time, A Song For A Friend, was moving and a beautifully and sparse version of Lost Where I Belong made my afternoon.  The set was littered with new songs which whetted the appetite and begged the question, when is a new album coming out?  Fingers crossed for one coming soon.

Thoroughly enjoyable start to a day in the sunshine at Lovebox and one of the highlights too.  Fingers crossed it won’t take another three and half years to see her perform again!
