Earlier this month, we headed over to the Small Beer Brew Co in Bermondsey, London for a mid-week show, organised by Sofar Sounds. Reimagining the live event experience, Sofar Sounds host specially curated events all over the world, and this show saw three talented acts perform in a very unique venue. Opening the intimate evening was 21-year-old, Clide, who had flown over from Berlin especially for this performance, which was one of his first-ever live shows since his solo single debut in early 2020.

 

Playing both the guitar and keyboard, Clide, born Claudio Maselli, introduced each of his five songs with a natural charm and switched between his instruments effortlessly. The 20-minute set included an acoustic performance of “Feelings”, which is the title track of his recently released EP, as well as “Blank Space”, a song perfect for fans of Lauv. With beautiful falsettos and well-written lyrics, we would have loved to see more from the newcomer, and we can only imagine how great he would sound with a bigger production.
