"Opening the show was a too-young-to-be-so-talented artist named Mira Meikle who, quite shyly, approached her electric piano and sat down in what seemed – understandably – a form of suspended animation. In an instant, three songs emerged from her tiny frame – her voice and accompaniment immediately announcing a special gift to be reckoned with. Three songs later (available for listening on her website) “Strong Arm,” Chameleon” and especially the rock-solid “You Always Lose,” the seemingly far-reaching references she’s been receiving – to such giants as Kate Bush, Tori Amos and Laura Nyro – aren’t so far away after all. More like Josienne Clarke, June Tabor or even Diane Birch, perhaps but at the tender age of 13, she’s got room to move. Currently under the care and tutelage of David Bradstreet, her name won’t be a secret for long."
