Hello
Everyone...Yassas!
We've
just returned from the beautiful Greek Island of Skopelos and despite a frantic
day of unpacking and catching up with the inevitable backlog are still feeling
relaxed after a busy year so far. It hasn't left us much time to
remind you all that we have our last Gulbenkian date of this current season
coming up tomorrow night with the excellent multi national and super
talented Celtic band - Cara.
This
award winning band write their own music, featuring beautiful twin vocals from
Gudrun and Kim... along with fiddle, diatonic accordian, uilliean pipes, flute,
whistles, grand piano, acoustic and electric guitar, dobro and bodhran, these
guys make a very rich and exciting sound. See what others say below.....
"Yet We Sing
showcases a world class band in top form." Irish Music Magazine,
Alex Monaghan
"a
musical force to be reckoned with...they can really fly" The Scotsman, Jim
Gilchrist rating ****4stars
"Great
musicianship, great production and total respect for the material. Wonderful,
what a great band. " Mike Harding
"They've
been achieving wonders on the Celtic circuit. Look out for them!" Iain Anderson, BBC
Scotland
"Yet We
Sing is that rare triumph of a record that beautifully renders both songs and
tunes. Whether you're a devoted follower of Cara or you've never heard them
before, this is an album that will leave its marks in your memory for a long
time." Bright Young
Folk, Sol-Loreto Miller

Opening
the evening for Cara will be Canterbury's own and very talented Emily Watts.
Some of you may have been to concerts organised by Emily, she is involved
with the brilliant Music for Change series and her own promotions - Beautiful
Town Music, on top of which she writes her own songs and sings them very
beautifully, accompanying herself on the piano.
"A songwriter to
be reckoned with. ****"
Songwriting Magazine
"For fans of
London Grammar? lovely vocals over beautiful production" BBC Introducing
"Echoes of
early Adele mingle with classical overtones as her voice soars above her
hypnotic piano." The
Musician
Despite
what promises to be a fantastic line-up and performance, sadly, as often
happens with a band people haven't heard of - ticket sales are much lower than
they should be for a band of this calibre, 75 at the last count
eeek! We've had some absolutely brilliant concerts this year and
many of those that have attended have commented on the lack of packed outness.
It is a pity and it makes such a difference to the whole atmosphere if the
audience is in plentiful supply. Not only that - what better way to
escape this melty mid-summer heat than spend an evening in
a beautifully cool air-conditioned auditorium listening to some top music!
In any case, I'm really looking forward to this - and hope to see
you too.
Here's
