Annie Lennox - BBC One Sessions Live At St.Lukes (2009)




















An intimate concert from LSO St Luke's in London. 
Accompanied by her band, and 21 strings from the BBC Concert Orchestra, Annie Lennox storms through a 
setlist packed with hits from her solo career and back to The Eurythmics days, including classic hits 
Here Comes the Rain, Little Bird, Cold, Sweet Dreams and No More 'I Love You's'. 
Lennox shows her voice has lost none of its ability to thrill and her showmanship is undimmed.
Fighting back from the blow of back surgery , Annie Lennox is flexing the considerable muscle of her 
back catalogue. Nestling in this Hawksmoor church, the singer is backed tonight by the string section 
of the BBC Concert Orchestra, whose black ties contrast sharply with the vibrantly hued gowns of 
Lennox's three backing female vocalists and the shimmering coral top of the lady herself. 
Her sequins, however, are cast into the shade by Annie's gleaming smile as she lets fly with Little 
Bird, from her 1992 solo album 'Diva'. Tracks from this through to 2007's Songs of Mass Destruction 
make up her just-released greatest hits package, and she adopts and inhabits its many moods. 
Tough poses and trembling femininity accompany Walking On Broken Glass, Lennox's high notes echoing
 around the converted church. She sits on a stool to trace the chilling emotion of Cold and wears a 
pained expression during No More I Love You's, her expressive hands fluttering above her head, then 
mimicking the violinists' sweeping movements. 
One thing Lennox doesn't do is between-song banter, speaking only as she makes her way to a piano 
placed among the tables and chairs of invited guests, including actor David Tennant. "I'm going to show 
how versatile I am," she jokes, her self-consciousness a contrast to her forceful stage presence. 
What her "acoustic thing" actually reveals is the previously detrimental effect of her five-piece band.
 Free from 80s guitar solos and horrendously mixed drums, Lennox's soulful interpretations of A 
Thousand Beautiful Things and Sisters Are Doin' It for Themselves are magical. 


An encore of Shining Light sees Lennox's blond crop hidden beneath a cocked trilby hat, as she replaces the ardent affection of Ash's original with bland, mumsy pride. Instead, it's on 26-year-old Eurythmics hit Sweet Dreams that the veteran chameleon turns once again into an edgy force to be reckoned with.
