Eugene McGuinness at The Harley, Sheffield, September 22

Eugene McGuinness is one of the best kept secrets of this year. Brandishing a personality bordering on intensely shy to supremely confident it's hard not to fall for this singer's charms before he's played a note. Wait until he quietly strums the final chord of 'Bird On A Wire' and his pure, raw quality partnered with soft guitar strokes leaves you desperate for more. As his eyes flit about the room it's unsure to tell if performing is his calling or an excruciating experience- either way he'd better get used it. This boy wonder won't be a secret for long.
