Holly Humberstone.

O2 Institute, Birmingham. November 2022.

Holly Humberstone (2022).

Me and Anita, seeing Holly for the first time, on the Sleep Tight tour. A Christmas market and a few drinks before.

I love pints in Birmingham, but I have to say I'm not a big fan of this venue, a small and very packed room in Digbeth. Holly certainly made it a good night, though. She's the sort of young singer-songwriter you're rooting for.

I said in my 2022 list that next time the rooms would be a lot bigger, and they were.

The setlist.

All 14 songs from the night, in the order they played them. Listen: Apple Music · Spotify

Setlist from setlist.fm. More from 2022: my songs of the year.
