"Designer Magazine saw Karima Francis at this years Cohesion Live festival. Well we say saw her. Karima was watching Lou Rhodes at the time, and was striking enough that when we were glancing through the In The City listings we immediately recognised this strikingly individual character that could just be one of Manchester's hottest exports.
Recently we've become bored of the likes of Stephen Fretwell and Liam Frost but female singer songwriters such as Karima Francis are proving that the girls are where its at. Musically it's highly emotive reminding us of Tracy Chapman or even a female Leonard Cohen and is about as far away from KT Tunstall as you can imagine. This is a must see gig!!!" That is what we wrote for Designer Magazine's In The City Preview shows in Mid October. After seeing her twice over the ITC Weekend at shows where people were literally standing outside venues at the hope of saying they were there, we're convinced Karima is the most important musical artist to come out of Manchester since Morrissey"
