event details

Grace, Hewat & Polwart & Diana Jones & Rachel Harrington

Saturday 30th January 2010, 7.30pm

City Halls : Grand Hall

Featuring three of the most distinctive female voices on the contemporary Scottish folk-roots scene, Annie Grace, Corrina Hewat and Karine Polwart join together to unite in an array of bewitching harmony. With new material, the girls bring pipes, harp, shruti box and guitar to a very special evening of song.

After being adopted as a baby, Diana Jones discovered her musical heartland when she traced her birth family to Tennessee. Her grandfather, who’d once played with Chet Atkins, proved a particular influence, bringing alive the old mountain songs she found on an Alan Lomax collection. It was the album Jones dedicated to him following his death, 2006’s stark yet majestically haunting My Remembrance of You, which became her breakthrough recording, swiftly propelling her to Americana stardom.

Completing the triple bill this evening will be Oregon singer-songwriter Rachel Harrington, whose rootsy, richly literate balladry draws on influences from gospel to Motown.
