Let’s accept that the modern music industry is obsessed with manufactured pop stars. But Ciurtney Hadwin just staged a gritty rock rebellion in a sweaty Manchester club. Courtney Hadwin gave a powerful performance on a tiny stage at The Deaf Institute. She resurrected Yer Blues, a 1968 classic that would make a seasoned roadie sweat.
Her performance felt like a time machine back to the 1970s. Her voice carries a raspy grit that sounds like it was forged in a basement full of old vinyl records. She moves with a wild energy that reminds people of Janis Joplin, yet she is clearly in total control of every note.
