14 Mar: Duffy Live@ SXSW Festival Day Three

DUFFY LIVE ON KRCW RADIO
This morning (Friday 14th March 2008) Duffy did a superb live performance for KCRW radio as part of the South by South West festival(SXSW). It was her debut US performance and was absolutely superb. You can listen or watch the video direct from the KCRW website below.


The show (called Morning Becomes Eclectic) is about half an hour long and includes an interview with Duffy along with her singing live 6 songs from her Rockferry album. The following songs (taken from this radio broadcast) are available for MP3 download:
Intro
Rockferry
Warwick Avenue
Serious
Interview
Stepping Stone
Syrup & Honey
Mercy
Outro

Also KCRW have posted Mercy on youtube - which may outlast their website video so I'm also including it here.


Also this youtube video includes Duffy at KRCW radio session singing Warwick Avenue - but since the vid also includes lots of other stuff I won't embed it!

But all hijinks ended when it was time for the next act, and then it was all eyes on stage. For now it was time for Duffy, and word had obviously spread across the Atlantic for the gathered crowd were expecting something good, and they were not disappointed. Clash's new best pal Mick Jones was also in attendance and was suitably impressed. The Welsh chanteusse gave the crowd a 5 song set that ended with single 'Mercy', which couldn't fail to get the crowd smiling.
