Jenny Reeve is a kind-hearted sort. She
spends so much time lending a musical hand to everyone from Idlewild to Snow Patrol to Malcolm Middleton that it has rendered her own band Strike the Colour’s output worryingly sporadic. Thank the lord then for their new small but perfectly formed mini-album, The Face that Sunk a Thousand Ships, an enchanted collection of sparsely beautiful candle lit pop songs. And while we‘re here, the latter show (see below) is part of the Cab’s Duty Free season of performances that run over the summer and are completely free. Little Does and Sans Trauma weigh in as support. What more could you ask for?
