Ahoy there, matey! I went to a great gig last night on a boat. I drove to Bristol to watch Sia play live at Thekla. The Thekla venue is an old Baltic coaster ship which was bought by an eccentric musician and converted into a fantastically intimate music venue.

Sia, who is probably better know for her vocal work with Zero 7, has an effortlessly soulful voice on record, and in a live setting she doesn’t disappoint either. The intimate setting onboard the Thekla was the perfect place for Sia to perform, and created one of the most emotive atmospheres I’ve experienced at a live music event. If you ever get the chance to catch her live, make sure you do.

You can find more Sia tour dates on her MySpace page.
