Although she only played three songs I can’t let
Joss Stone’s appearance at Exeter Pride 2017 go unmarked. I’ve seen her a couple
of times now, the first way back in the early noughties at Glasto when she was being
hailed as a new queen of soul, the second...rather unbelievably...at The
Rainbow in Digbeth. In the intervening years she’s sold the odd 14 million
records or so and ditched major label backing to pursue her own
thang. Whilst that’s no doubt more rewarding artistically and spiritually
speaking it’s probably reduced her public profile somewhat, in turn depriving a
lot of potential new fans from one of the best white female soul voices around, but there we go, you can't have everything eh? Anyway on a lovely chilled out Saturday afternoon in Exeter she was on fine form with mini set closer Right To Be Wrong (no footage sadly but the clip below gives you some idea) reaching the parts that few female (or male for that matter) reach these days.
PS: Dodgy photo of Joss sporting pink hair taken using Lady B's mobile.
