“Brightonian songstress Hannah Brackenbury has been described as Victoria Wood and Tim Minchin’s lesbian love child. She’s more than that. She’s Hannah, and her songs are both bloody funny and beautifully touching.
Her first album, Postcard From Brighton, is full to the brim with humour and sharply enchanting lyrics. Her funny bone is so universal that rumour has it the opening track on the album Tomorrow is currently spreading across schoolyards in the Midlands as a viral ringtone. It’s rather rude about bosses who don’t deliver on initial employment promises. Rather apt considering the promises being made for a rather large job in a couple of weeks time.
Other subjects skipped through include furtive liaisons, car boot sales and not being cool. Hannah is cool, despite what she says.
She’s been a straight-up musician for a number of years, leaving her with a commanding stage presence and a strong voice –and also making sure she knows exactly what to do in those gaps between carefully crafted songs.
When you go along to Hannah’s music-based comedy set, not only do you know you’re in safe hands entertainment-wise, but you also get that tingly feeling on the back of your neck that you’re catching her before the big time takes over.
Catch her at this intimate venue while you can, buy a CD and get her to sign it for you on your way out. Then sing your favourite Hannah songs with your mates all the way home. Quintessentially Brighton, and aren’t we the richer for it?”
