Have been fortunate to see Kirsty Almeida and her amazing band performing in both Manchester and Cambridge, and they never fail to put on an awe-inspiring show. The song-writing and arrangements are innovative, exciting, sensitive and compelling - and the musicianship is truly wonderful. Can't wait for the next instalment! This must be one of the most mature debuts ever.

Seen Kirsty Almeida band promoting this album live at Glee club Birmingham and V fest and must say they are amazing. The single "Spider" is truly original (check out the video) and "Scares Me" demonstrates the capability of the singer and the quality of production. Real depth of musical experience at work here and great variety; something for everyone.

I have seen Kirsty play and sing in a number of intimate venues, including our local pub, and class just oozes from her pores. After hearing Pure Blue Green I am now SO looking forward to seeing her with the whole band on 30th Sept at Band on the Wall in Manchester. The album is polished and beautifully produced and I can't understand why we are not hearing more of her on radio and TV. She is perfect for Jools Holland - would someone please tell him?

For a 1st album, this is brill, especially the 'single' track - Spider. If you get the chance, watch the video. Can't say more that that.

Kirsty...but not as good as Glastonbury
Listened to her at Glastonbury this year and was captivated. Great band with big sound, "fusion" to use an overblown description. Read more
