We are delighted to welcome back Lady
Maisery to The Greystones following their sell-out show with Coven
earlier this year. One of the finest shows we have ever delivered at
the venue. It was simply magnificent. As a special treat there are
two nights in the intimate venue to help celebrate the launch of
Cycle, their brand-new studio album.
Nominated for the 'Horizon' BBC Folk
Award 2012 and for 'Best Debut' at the Spiral Awards 2012. Forged
from the voices of Hannah James (Kerfuffle, duo with Sam Sweeney),
Hazel Askew (The Askew Sisters, The Artisans) and Rowan Rheingans (Fidola),
Lady Maisery explore vocal harmony to breathtaking effect, through
their fresh interpretations of songs and ballads.
The trio burst onto the scene with
the release of the debut album, ‘Weave and Spin’ in summer 2011,
which received much critical acclaim and was declared an 'Album of
the Week' by The Independent. Their live performances during the
festival season created a real buzz and they were nominated for the
Horizon Award at the BBC Radio 2 Folk Awards 2012 and for Best Debut
at the 2012 Spiral Awards. Lady Maisery break new ground as one of
the first UK groups to explore the tradition of diddling or tune
singing, which has nearly died out in England, but is still
prevalent in Scandinavia and other parts of Europe. Whether singing
unaccompanied, or with backing from their combined instrumental
talents on accordion, harp and fiddle, be prepared to be enchanted
by rich harmonies and sumptuous clashes.
Lady Maisery are
women with ideas, purpose and urgency. They've packed these into
Mayday and created a powerful, enthralling work ***** SONGLINES
***** The Financial Times
There are two performances on Monday 14th and Tuesday 15th November
2016.
These will sell-out, no doubt about it, get your skates on!!
