Dave!!! I never saw this post. I have a story about laura marling!
About 2/3 or so years ago, my friend took me to this TERRIBLE party. It was full of alternative therapists, schizophrenics and belly dancers, truly awful, something I've been trying to block out ever since.
ANYway. One girl there, who was surprisingly normal, asked if she could put on a cd that her neighbour's daughter had recorded in her bedroom, a couple of songs she'd written herself. This kid that she babysat for sometimes. I think she was about 15 then. Well... I was absolutely blown sideways. I asked her to play it about 4 times, and even though I was REALLY drunk (wouldn't you be?) I remembered the name Laura Marling, because even though she was 15 and a kid, and still had a babysitter, I was sure she'd end up getting big.
Then, a short while back, out of the blue I remembered her and searched for her on myspace, and sure enough there she was, sounding great.
She's destined for big things, that one.

They played a song of hers on radio one tonight as I was washing up. She's very talented. Not sure if it's my cup of tea really but considering how young she is it's staggering really. Go Laura!
