Blueflint CD Launch "Maudy Tree."
With the success of their highly acclaimed debut album High Bright Morning, (Rock'n'Reel Music Magazine 4 Stars ****, The List 5 Stars *****, The Scotsman 4 Stars ****, The Skinny 4 Stars ****, Daily Express 4 Stars ****
Sunday Herald '...this is a Scots triumph... excellent songwriting,") and their atmospheric and evocative live performances, Edinburgh’s Blueflint have built a strong reputation and following. Their much anticipated second album Maudy Tree promises to raise their profile even further.
The sound of Blueflint is defined by the sublime close harmonies of Deborah Arnott and Clare Neilson whose voices, both ethereal and warm, interweave in ballads and songs of eerie melancholy and heartfelt charm.
Intertwining banjos, fiddle, double-bass and drums accompany the singers in beautifully-crafted songs that swoop easily from the dark underbelly of folk to buoyant Americana-tinged ballads. Blueflint successfully thwart attempts at musical pigeonholing; their fresh and original sound refuses to sit squarely in any one genre, bringing an unexpected twist to the banjo sound and gaining them fans from across the musical spectrum.
Support from Oliver Talkes, ex frontman with the legendary bluegrass/americana act Southern Tenant Folk Union, who will be presenting his solo project. Double bass, acoustic guitar and violin complement his beautifully introspective songs. Townes Van Zandt, Jackson C. Frank and Bert Jansch are all reflected in his pure folk style.
