Live: Miriam Clancy Live (a little later than previously advertised)

Miriam Clancy's second album Magnetic made music reviewer Nick Bollinger "think of the daring, eclectic and uncategorisable things that some of the supposedly mainstream pop singers did back in the 60s - people like Dusty Springfield or Sandie Shaw … the starting point is always a strong song with the fundamentals like hooks and good lyrical ideas firmly in place. Which means that a more stripped down track … is no less effective than the more epic ones."

Radio New Zealand recorded Miriam and her equally accomplished six-piece band, live in Auckland's Bacco Room for the launch of Magnetic.
