   About Lindsay Sugden & The Storm

Beautiful Rare things & randomness

...to transport you to wild places where the moonlight fractures through the trees and the waves lap on a gravely shore; ethereal baroque folk-tinged indie; Music to drift into your dreams to; Transportation to a parallel universe.

Newsflash! The Storm in Acoustic Idols award sweep shock!

The Storm have reportedly been whipping up an, er, Storm, in Edinburgh. Voted the overall Acoustic Idols of 2008 last month, they swept up nearly all the awards at Edinburgh's annual celebration of the capital's talents, leaving barely anything for the scores of other amazing folks. So, The Storm figured, "aha, so a few folks are getting it... Woohoo!! First Edinburgh, next stop, the world! (watch out ~:-) )

The Storm is brewing: The vocals drift over cello-led melodic guitar lines, glockenspiel & djembe. I, Lindsay, created these musical meanderings with the aid of three other very talented musicians. The Storm feature Miss Neelofer Banglawala ..o, Miss Karen Austin on harmonies & glock, and Mr Nelson Wright on djembe & harmonica. I write music for The Storm when i'm in tents in remote places mostly in the mountains where you get hit by the violence of the weather (the storms!) and the calmness of the world. They inspire me. I like walking and running and skiing through the mountains while i'm figuring out new parts....

NEW EP is OUT NOW!!! Voted best CD in Acoutic Idols 2008!!

Lindsay Sugden & The Storm, eponomous debut... We recorded at Windmill Sound... Available to buy from SECRET CDs.

TRACKS: 1. On the Wire (voted "best song" at AcousticIdols 08!) 2. Beyond These Walls 3. Blood Runs Red 4. Even if I fell from Above.

Old Stuff...In 2006 the "Lightning" EP was released, which you can buy here by the wonders of technology by following the Paypal link below. It features "Bernard Drake" (voted 2nd = best song in Acoustic Idols 08!), "I know it's odd", "In This Life" and more...

In the depths of time there was a self-produced meandering collection called "Negativity", which is all sold out...

WHAT OTHER PEOPLE SAID

"intimate and reflective... interesting rhythms, contrasting a gentle use of the guitar, and stabbing plucking... filled with hints of Nick Drake, Laura Veirs and Elliott Smith... its gentle and full of emotional depth." Scottish Music Network

"A haunting finesse of a song... the audience was mesmerised by a stunning set" Mr J Pugh, OOTB

"Beautifully crafted songs and light yet mesmerising vocal performances”. The Skinny

"I think Lindsay’s recent Nepal trip has given her some mystical power" James Igoe, Out of the Bedroom

We are looking for a manager, because, frankly, I was not cur out to be a very good self-marketer. Anyone want to help me, please get in touch!!

I also write & play in chocyamo. We are louder than I.

Hi, really sorry we couldn't make it on Sunday, we had to cover a friends busking pitch on the royal mile, or he would have had his pass revoked.
We'll keep an eye on here to see when your playing next and make sure we come along!

Hi Lindsay. No worries. We had a bit of a ropey start with tuning and generally trying to remember the song! Enjoyed your set. Nice and chilled. Catch you again.

Hey Lindsay. Just wanted to say a big thanks for having us at the Listening Room. It's such a strange experience playing totally unplugged but a very enjoyable one. I hope our colds and lack of cello didn't make us sound too dodgy...
And on another note. I was meaning to ask you about the Chocyamo??!?! Are you still together? Can we see you play?? I need the answers.
Cheers
