THE LASSES
Sublime harmonies -fRoots
Balsam for the soul -Roots Time
Amsterdam duo The Lasses have been performing in folk clubs and on festival stages since 2012, touring the Netherlands, Belgium, Germany, Scotland, England, the United States, Canada and Japan. Join them for their latest journey, touring their new album 'Undone. The album features thirteen songs about losing one's composure and trying to regain it, revolving around Sophie and Margot's strong harmonies, recorded primarily with just one microphone by producer Janos Koolen. Their previous album, a collaboration with Portland-based musician Kathryn Claire, was dubbed "a treat for the audience" by Irish Music Magazine and fRoots thought it was "sublime". Folk lovers compare their harmonies and repertoire to that of Anna & Elizabeth and The Silly Sisters.
MEGAN HENWOOD
'One to watch' - The Independent'
'Bloody good' - The Guardian
"Stunning' Folk Radio UK
If ever an artist called on the elements in her songwriting, it's Megan Henwood. The distinguished English singer-songwriter is far too self-deprecating to describe herself as a force of nature, but her third album River reaffirms her unique ability to create roots music of beguiling purity from what's around her.
The most mature work yet of an artist renowned for her intoxicating blend of acoustic and electronic ingredients, River depicts Henwood's lifelong relationship with the rivers and seas that flow into her creativity. Its alt-folk essence is illuminated with shades of sophisticated jazz and low-key electronica, on a record of dark hues and discreet optimism.
The album, again produced by close collaborator Tom Excell, is the third in a bespoke series that began after Megan won the 2009 BBC Young Folk Award, aged just 20, with her brother Joe. Her debut Glastonbury Festival appearance duly followed the next year. 2011's Making Waves and the 2015 set Head Heart Hands were widely applauded for a songwriting and performing maturity beyond her years.
