This is the live spot on Later with Jools Holland that launched her career. It’s amazing to watch such a diminutive person deliver such a powerful performance.

When she takes the stage, you expect her to do a folk song but the song builds upon itself throughout her set.  It was like watching someone build a musical house of cards. With all the things that she was juggling, it would have been easy for her to make a misstep that would have ruined the whole song. Instead, it was about as close to perfection as you could have done it.
