Claire Batchelor, a rock chick with a warming attitude.

With a soft and gentle presence Claire manages to capture the audience with beautiful clarity in her voice and exquisite guitar playing.

Claire was the first act on so the natural light was still dominating the courtyard; it was overcast which was perfect as the organizer Stuart Robb had arranged for a lighting engineer to be there. I cannot say enough just how amazing Matt from PRG.COM was in his lighting. Claire was lit beautifully with soft blue lights, warm yellows. I had minor difficulties in finding the right white balance; after a quick chat to Matt I discovered his lights were using different bulbs hence different temperatures.
