Forget oil and water, perhaps the most precious commodity of the 21st Century is good old peace and quiet.

In these times of blaring ringtones and impatient loudmouths, the ability to hush a crowd into revered silence should be as sacred as a Hindu cow. And if this talent could be bottled and sold, Adem Ilhan would be richer than Shell.

Part of the new folk revival - think trimmed beard and snazzy glasses instead of crusty dreads and pipes - the former Fridge frontman awed a packed audience at the Hanbury Ballroom with a sound so warm and soothing the gig should have been sponsored by Horlicks.

Tracks from his new, cosmos-obsessed album, Love And Other Planets, are full of delicate xylophone notes twinkling like stars, enveloped by the majestic Milky Way of his distinctive and powerfully beautiful voice.

He finishes with the joyously moving There Will Always Be from debut album Homesongs. An appropriate choice, as there should always be a place in your life for Adem.
