Occasionally we receive an e-mail asking for a review we find almost irresistible. We received an e-mail from Adriana a Scottish singer-songwriter who has just supported Sheryl Crow at a sell-out gig at the Carling Academy in Glasgow. Her music has taken her to Seattle, New York, Italy, London and across Scotland. Born in Livingston of Italian/Scots parentage, after a classical training she emerged onto the live music scene in 2005 with her acoustic guitar. This was the first time I had heard of Adriana and out of curiosity I went along to see her. She is joined on stage by her new band Mark on bass guitar, Ian on drums and John on electric and acoustic guitar. I was blown away by her set, so much so I bought the 3 CD’s she had available and listened to one on the way home enjoying it very much. One of the numbers she played during the gig was called ‘One Foot in the Water’ which totally captured my imagination, in some ways it reminds me of the effect the song ‘Black Horse and the Cherry Tree’ by KT Tunstall had on me. Unfortunately it is not on a current CD but as she is working on one with the new band due for release in January. For me this was an absolutely superb gig and I hope I was in at the start of a huge career in the music industry, we will certainly be keeping an eye out for this young lady in the future. Look out KT Tunstall, Katie Melua, Amy McDonald and others, Adriana is on her way. *****
