Ladyfest Totally Unplugged August 28, 2007

Some of Bristol’s most exciting singer-songwriters will be performing totally unplugged at this intimate event.

Caroline Martin: www.myspace.com/carolinemartinsmalldog
“Caroline Martin's songs are dark insular, crisp and inspiring, as if she were a lost love child of Leonard Cohen. Or maybe she's that girl from the valley that Bonnie Prince Billy is always out on his horse searching for but never finds. Caroline Martin's pedigree is in no doubt."

Rachael Dadd: www.rachaeldadd.co.uk
“Beneath Dadd's ever-beaming, amiable exterior lies the author of a deft, charismatic brand of folk music that carries a subtle sting all of its own.”

Rasha Shaheen: www.rasha.co.uk
“A captivating and enigmatic performer with a gloriously historic disdain for convention”

Poppy: www.myspace.com/poppyandfriends
West country folk with a twang of Americana, and a slice of London; Poppy weaves off-kilter tales of urban life with the sweetest folk melodies.

Lacuna: www.myspace.com/lacunasounds
“Looping harmony and melody, allied to unconventional instrumentation, make this thoroughly modern folk music, but a Vashti Bunyan-like pastoralism and more traditional combinations like the guitar/glockenspiel on 'Heart Song' means there's more than enough here for the purists.”
