Preview: The Black Feathers at The Green Note, 14th March
Hailing from the Gloucester countryside, award-winning Americana duo, The Black Feathers, released their eagerly awaited debut album ‘Soaked To The Bone’ on Feb 26, 2016 on Blue House Music.
‘Soaked To The Bone’, the first long player by the duo of Sian Chandler and Ray Hughes, really has been a lifetime in the making. It´s the perfect consummation of the early promise shown by their 2014 EP ‘Strangers We Meet’, or the incisive and warm live performances that have won over audiences all the way from The Bedford in Balham to the Bluebird Café in Nashville.
Following the release of ‘Soaked To The Bone’, The Black Feathers began their UK tour on 4th March at Café #9 in Sheffield, and are due to play at the Green Note Camden Monday 14th March. The award winning North London Venue provides an ideal setting for The Black Feathers, who give an intimate performance that draws the listener in to a special, strong and unique bond between two people.
The band have wasted no time in getting their music heard in venues around the UK, playing a multitude of shows and festivals up and down the country. Within their first year they were awarded the ‘5 Valleys Folk award’ and the following year also picked up the ‘Folkstock Arts Foundation’ award for best live performance.
