One star awake
Wed, 29/04/2009 - 11:35pm — Sue Mara
New duo One Star Awake sing and play traditional folk songs from England, Ireland and Scotland, plus a couple of compositions. Sue Mara's vocals are accompanied by Anna Kissell's fiddle, or on some songs, we both sing acapella in close harmony. Occasionally we’re joined by other musicians; on our current demo, for example, jazz pianist Pete Rosser guests on one track.
We've just started playing gigs as a duo, including supporting Martin Carthy recently.
The gorgeous songs we sing and play are usually slow, haunting, atmospheric - even the up-tempo ones carry a dark shimmer...
We'll be performing some songs at the SBAT After Party on Sunday evening upstairs at the Tobacco Factory. www.myspace.com/onestarawakemusic
