She certainly captivated a packed Hammersmith Apollo, when at 9pm sharp the songstress stepped on stage to a rapturous applause and bellowed 'What Am I to You?' in her signature tone.

In a change of pace, she picked up her guitar for the next track 'Tell yer Mama', taken from her current and fourth studio album The Fall (2009), signalling a new almost electro /rock / folk flavour found through out. The show continued with several more tracks from her latest release such as 'Even Though', 'Light as a Feather' and 'Chasing Pirates'.

At times, some of the songs could be described as a little samey due to similar chord arrangements, prompting even the main lady at one point to announce, 'I have already done that', before slickly moving into the next song. In Norah's unique style there is always a true gem to be found, capable of taking your breath away and speaking to you irrespective of the words such as 'Back to Manhattan', which is by far my favourite track of the album.

When she sat at the piano to perform 'Sunrise', much to the delight of the audience and true fans in attendance, that moment encapsulated the feel of the show and 'The Fall', which constantly fuses the styles of the old with the new. In a twist, Norah and band performed the Cash classic, 'Cry, Cry, Cry' and 'Strangers' by the Kinks which were true highlights amongst many of the evening. She was both enchanting and endearing, and looked to be having as much fun as the audience.
