Advent Blog – Day Eight – First Aid Kit Live Pics & Download

So on Monday we hosted the exclusive live playback of First Aid Kit’s debut album. The two Swedish girls, backed by a drummer, graced The Old Queen’s Head stage to treat us to a track by track live performance of The Big Black and The Blue, which is to be released next year.

Amongst the audience was a mixture of their own fans who were lucky enough to get the few tickets that were available on the door, and a cross section of record labels, press companies, journalists and fellow musicians (the lovely Katy & Olly from Peggy Sue to name but a few). The show was also being filmed and recorded live – so all in all quite a big show for them to do and us to host.

Regardless of the pressure of the show and appearing slightly nervous on stage they delivered their folk-pop beautifully, leaving the 100+ people in the room completely silent except for the raucous rounds of applause between songs.

They ended their set with an undeniable encore, stepping of the stage and singing their customary cover of Fleet Foxes’ ‘Tiger Mountain Peasant Song’, in the heart of the audience.

As a thank you to us they have let me post this link
