With good reason too, there are no fillers within her set as she possesses a bounty of strong sonnets and it was noticeable that the audience were saluting their approval with hearty, rousing applause after each track. I don't think Jo has ever done a show at The Grey Lady and not sold a CD afterwards and this was no exception as an orderly queue waited with crisp golden tenners at the ready
