As the cold, damp autumn evenings start to settle in, there was a little ray of warmth as the English rose that is Lucy Rose launched her debut album. An enthusiastic crowd packed into the Rough Trade East store in London’s famous Brick Lane on Monday evening to hear a set covering most of the songs off the album. Made up of delicate, slightly melancholy melodies, they still have a hint of summer optimism, rather than a dark night of the soul that winter can bring, with Lines being one of the most upbeat.

Lucy is touring around the country to promote the release, playing lots of intimate gigs that are appropriate to the delicate and personal nature of the songs.
