To celebrate the release of new release “Make Me Smile”, Pearl and (most of) the Puppets performed a short set in FOPP on Union Steet in Glasgow before meeting fans and signing copies of the new single.
As mentioned at the start, most of the Puppets were present for this gig. Drummer Puppet was missing meaning that the renditions of her songs were going to be a little different from usual.
The set kicked off with Lower Ground before heading into debut single Because I Do which she dedicated to her grandad who was present at the performance. This was followed by Mango Tree. All these songs featured on the Because I Do EP released earlier in the year.
Current single Make Me Smile was next in line along with the B-side, Inside Out. The set was finished with fan favourite Kisses which also meant that it was ukulele time! 
It also meant that it was time for Pearl to complain that she couldn’t do two things at once but also mention that some people already knew what song was coming up.
As mentioned previously, it was a little strange to hear the tracks without a drum or box drum, especially with the two singles, however it was nice to hear songs in a different context than the same thing over and over again.
Despite the time of the instore performance (5.30pm), the tiny ground floor was packed, with some people heading to the second floor and sitting watching from the second level. Compared to other performances, the crowd seemed quite sedate however did show their appreciation at the end of the songs and no shortage of people wanting to meet her afterwards.
Overall it was a great little event and it’s great to be able to see an artist in such an intimate way. It’s also a great way to interact with the fans.
