With thunderstorms in the forecast, Singapore was quite lucky to receive little more than a sprinkle. This was a huge relief to Laneway festival founder Danny Rogers, as he looked out into the crowd and thanked the previous attendees for braving what he called "monsoonal weather" last year.

The soft-spoken English songwriter captivated a stunned Triple J winners-only audience at a private concert held in the Paddington Uniting Church.

Sometimes words can't do justice to the beauty music can evoke. You have to experience it for yourself. At the very least, I don't consider myself a good enough writer to do so. Tonight at the Sydney Opera House brings me one such moment, where UK songstress Laura Marling embraced a sold out crowd performing her latest record A Creature I Don't Know in full (for the first time), and a second set of favourites from her first two records.

Not a cloud could be found as we made our way to the St Jerome's Laneway Festival in Sydney. Indeed, the sun had come out to play on a typically beautiful Sydney summer day (which we haven't seen much of this year); a stark contrast to the weather of last year and a very welcome start to what would be a stellar day of music.

The mercurial Laura Marling charmed The Forum Theater in one of the finest performances I’ve seen in... ever, really.
