Perhaps one of the most overlooked singers of popular music graced the stage of St David's Hall on Friday evening.

Alison Moyet, whose music career has spanned over quarter of a century, took the audience on a mesmerising journey encompassing pop, soul and jazz and throwing in some tracks from her new album The Turn for good measure.

I can't profess that I have followed Alison's career ardently, but I instantly fell in love with her voice as soon as she started singing.

It was good to hear many of her hits including "Love Letters", "Whispering Your Name" and a rare performance of "Love Resurrection".

There was also a bluesy interpretation of "Only You", her first hit with Yazoo, from 1982, although these days "Only You" is more associated with The Flying Pickets who later covered it (and got the number one) than Alison herself.

Alison's charm and humour poured through her performance and it was good to hear her tackle some standards including "The Windmills of Your Mind" and "Come Together". Her voice never faltered for one moment and her delivery on all songs was nothing short of outstanding.

Alison was ably supported by an upcoming artist Oliver Darley, who was reminiscent of John Denver in style and captivated the audience with a 25 minute opening set.

I would certainly recommend catching Alison Moyet live, and for some that will be possible again very soon as she tours with former Yazoo band mate Vince Clark for the first time in over 20 years. I'm sure that will be quite a tour!
