I remember the first time I ever saw Kate Tempest was on a show here in Australia called Q&A. She was saying awesomely radical things on the panel that made my heart beat with excitement. And then at the end she got up and did one of her spoken word pieces.

It was like one of those times when the mundane world stops for a bit and something else flows in. She was brilliant! And to be surprised by her like that on a show which frankly shits me to tears because it tackles questions very thinly and never comes up with any worthwhile cohesive holistic answers - well, it put a massive smile on my face.
