Foreign Slippers (aka Gabrielle Frödén pictured above) makes music of unnerving quality. Hailing from Norrkoping, Sweden her captivating debut 'Oh death' is caught up in tales of longing and mortality. Foreign Slippers ushers you into a world of pump organs, music boxes and blackbirds from which you will be unwilling to return.
Introspective and personal, hopeful and intoxicating, Karen Grace’s songs take you on a poetic journey from farmland to funerals, from defiance to dedicated persuasion. Her enchanting voice has been likened to a ‘butterfly with guts’, and her sound-world involves moments of delicate finger-picked guitar with touches of bewitching violin and the magic of a full-sized harp. An emerging artist on the London music circuit, she recently played in The Blue Room Bar in the O2 Complex, and at The Greenbelt Festival last summer and recently released her debut album ‘Find me’.
Susannah Evans was a member of Harrow School for Young Musicans in 1992 and was principal harpist with their Philharmonic Orchestra for four years. Susannah was principal harpist for the Durham University Chamber and Symphony Orchestras from 2000 to 2003. She now performs with various orchestras and choral societies, and accompanies Karen on her debut album ‘Find Me’. www.susannahevans.co.uk
