Carys. Support from Red Shoes.
April 3 @ 8:00 pm - 10:30 pm
£8Carys is a singer songwriter based in Suffolk with an enthusiastic and evocative stage presence displaying a natural charm that has won her many admirers, not only within the folk scene, but also far beyond it.
Her musical partnership with UK synth veteran David Wright and the avant-garde rock band Code Indigo have won many plaudits from fans and media alike. The CDs ‘Take the Money and Run’ and the critically acclaimed 2017 release ‘Prophecy’ were followed by a series of successful UK and European concerts, including two nights supporting the German music legends Tangerine Dream.
Carys has autism and anxiety disorder and she came to realise that her mind has a unique way of producing some interesting songs. Her first solo album ‘A Different Kind Of Normal’ certainly reflects that with its roots firmly in folk, but also dipping into rock, pop and em. And as she explains with a smile when discussing the album; “The title describes me perfectly”. She released her second solo album “WolfSong” during the first lockdown in Spring 2020.
Her continued involvement in folk music includes many local events and folk sessions. Together Carys and singer Rosemary Griffith form the duo Celandine, releasing their CD ‘She’s Like the Swallow’ in 2015. Beyond this, Carys has created “Max the Pirate Cat” who features in both song and story.
Carys is a unique talent, beautifully interpreting her own composed material and traditional songs alike as well as showcasing her beautiful and evocative vocal textures within ambient electronic music.
Support is rom birmingham duo, Red Shoes. They have previously performed at both the club and the festival and it’s great to see them back.
