Shelby Lynne, Queen's Hall, Edinburgh

It may not be a particularly popular statement, but the financial black hole rapidly consuming the music industry undoubtedly has its fringe benefits. Five years ago Shelby Lynne would have toured the UK with a session band and played for perhaps 70 minutes.

Long may the pennies pinch.
