Our influences with a little of ourselves thrown in.
The Godlies (formerly Polite Society) have won many admirers in London and beyond for their beautiful songs and great live shows. Fronted by twin sisters Ruth and Lizzie, their music combines sweet harmonies and resonating lyrics with beautiful guitar, mandolin and banjo arrangements.
The band have played with many established folk artists such as James Raynard, The Memory Band and Rod Stern, and have performed at the Cambridge Folk Festival. They have just finished working on their new EP with Alexis Smith (Moulin Rouge, Rufus Wainwright) and Andy Strange (Robbie Williams, Elton John).
The Kittiwakes - CD Launch - Clerkenwell 22nd June
Leigh-on-Sea 3-piece, The Kittiwakes, celebrate the release of their Midwich Records debut, ‘Lofoten Calling’, a collection of original folk songs written about the people, landscape, folklore and history of the Lofoten Islands above the Arctic Circle and influenced by the traditional music of Norway and the British Isles.
'The Kittiwakes craft timeless and magical acoustically dappled folk treats - gentle and alluring ostensibly Gaelic in sound texture and gorgeously flighty braided as they are by corteges of mandolins, accordions and violins.' [LOSING TODAY]
'The Kittiwakes (rissa tridactyla): delicious, intriguing and evocative music, beautifully played and sung by this talented trio. Recommended to twitchers and lovers of folk music alike' [LEIGH FOLK FESTIVAL]
