Ms KT Tunstall. I thoroughly enjoyed that

From the same show:

First time I saw her perform was on Jools Holland's show. Had no idea who she was at the time but she did pretty much what she did here - started the repeated percussion bits and looped them, then performed the song. Very impressive.

The new single is good too, as is the video.

Edit: This must have been the performance I saw:

Talented lady

[Mark]

Know the name, and the song, but never seen it played live like that before. Very good.

She is a lovely lady, my old Info Sys teacher was mates with her.

[Dr. Z]

Bill Bailey is the absolute king at doing stuff like that, but obviously isnt as good a singer as her (although he is a massively talented musician).

Intelligent live performances like this are definitely more aurally pleasing than a display of techical mastery that seems to be the norm for most live acts these days...

She uses this thing:

Been working on my own version of Want You Back, but lacking the delay

I was really hoping she was using a MIDI sampler all correctly programmed etc with a nice footpedal control. Purely because from a technical point of view, that would be beautiful.

Boxes like that rock, but the art of rigging up works of art to achieve an aim is dwindling away - and quite a lot of live performance creativity with it IMO...

Aye, there are fewer and fewer artists doing that kind of thing these days. Most often with Guitarists you'll just see them dial up sound after sound, all pre-defined and leaving no slack for creativity, though I must confess I have a multi-fx pedal of my own and tend to rely on its presets more than anything else. A mate of mine bucks the trend by still using a large chain of stomp boxes, but he's got this amazing sense of what will just 'work' with a song, and how to get it from the pedals. I guess thats kinda the mark of a true artist, rather than the rest of us pretenders
