“During the singer songwriter’s performance on the Park Stage, a man got up on stage and started dancing along to the music before being bundled off by security. Otherwise, Marling thrilled the early fans, playing a solo acoustic set for the first three songs, which included ‘Failure’ and the Ryan Adams-referencing ‘New Romantic’. She was then joined onstage by her-four piece band which included a fiddle, banjo and accordion player.” — NME 24 June 2007

“Laura Marling was not allowed into her own gig last night (October 1) because she was too young. The singer, who was due to play the Soho Revenue Bar in London, was asked to leave the venue because she is 17 and no one under 18 is allowed on the premises. Instead, Marling busked outside the venue before finding another place to play: The Exchange in Gerrard Street, later on in the night.” — NME 2 October 2007

In an interview with Ari Shapiro of NPR, Marling says thqt her songs, particularly “Alas, I Cannot Swim”, “lay bare her fantasies about a normal way of life — what she calls ;a particular formula for living’ — that she missed by hitting the road at such a young age, and her insecurities about having left school before she finished. ‘You are what you can prove you’ve done. That’s how people judge you’.”
