Ana Silvera
Building on resounding praise from the UK press for her debut album 'The Aviary' released early last year (via the Karamel Music Collective), singer-songwriter Ana Silvera is currently preparing her second full-length record and will be debuting some of these new songs exclusively for this special performance.
From playing a sell-out joint headliner with Imogen Heap at The Roundhouse, performing her BASCA nominated seven-song-cycle 'Oracles' at The Sage, Gateshead, to playing intimate gigs in front of a hushed, tiny, packed-out Bedroom Bar in Hoxton, Ana is a versatile, constantly inventive artist.
As well as appearing throughout the year at a variety of national and international venues, she is also developing a new work for herself and members of the Royal Ballet, to be premiered in 2014.
"Stunning.. a gorgeous album that mixes operatic and folk elements with magical storytelling" The Guardian
"Melodies that just won't leave you alone, and a voice that tugs at your heart" Late Junction, BBC Radio 3
Laura Moody
Laura Moody is a startlingly original, cello wielding, avant-singer songwriter and long-standing member of innovative string quartet Elysian Quartet. Fascinated not only with words and songwriting but also with sounds, noises and textures she eschews laptops and loop pedals to explore what is possible using only solo cello and voice to create unique, acoustic, avant-pop music. She looks to combine the two instruments with hugely diverse musical influences in interesting and often physical, even theatrical ways composing what she believes to be essentially pop songs, although nobody else ever seems to agree with this definition...
"... for enjoyable astonishment, nothing quite beats the singer-cellist Laura Moody. She plays lyrically; then as if it was a box for sound effects. She sings her own almost-pop songs, gurgles, hoots, wails, taps her throat with the bow. Yet it's all seamless, as if she, the cello and the music are a single organism." The Irish Times
