Madeleine Peyroux is a French/Canadian singer songwriter with a soulful and mellow voice that transports the listener. She had a reputation of being stand-offish and difficult, but she was charming and engaging, and a little quirky… …which is not a bad thing.
She performed at the Brighton Dome which is an interesting venue and one that seemed to suit her very well.
The support act was from Sophie Hunger and her group from Switzerland who were very interesting and folksy (I have ordered her latest CD).
Cara Dillon is an Irish singer songwriter with the voice of an angel. She sings effortlessly with a clear and sweet sound and is supported by a talented band (including her husband Sam Lakeman – brother of Seth).
The venue was the Chequer Mead at East Grinstead, a smaller intimate theatre that suited this traditional folk music very well.
The support was from an unusual duo called Horses Brawl. They came from Norfolk and played a ‘mash-up’ of music that they say is rooted in renaissance, medieval, baroque and European folk traditions.
