Georgia by Joseph Connor
Georgia has announced a European tour for the spring of 2021 which will start with shows in the UK and Ireland.
UK dates have been booked in Cardiff, Bristol, London, Brighton, Norwich, Birmingham, Liverpool, Glasgow, Newcastle, Leeds and Manchester; an opportunity to resume touring the Seeking Thrills album which was released at the start of this year:
“Of all the different things you wouldn’t wish on your worst enemy, being the son or daughter of a successful someone is probably the one with the most mileage,” our 8/10 review begins. “The precedents are mixed, but for Georgia Barnes – daughter of Leftfield’s Neil – it was obvious that the shadow cast would take something special to escape from.”
“Dad after all had been one of the first producers to introduce the stylings of Jamaican music’s sound system culture to European techno in the nineties, long before dubstep, but Georgia buckled up into the ride slowly at first, beginning as a session drummer for the likes of Kwes and Kate Tempest before releasing her debut album in 2015.”
“Self-titled, this first outing seemed to be an equal contest between rhythm and melody, but on Seeking Thrills any doubts surrounding her club credentials are left behind like rave flyers blowing along an empty street.”
