Anna & Elizabeth

Last Sunday evening, Fiddle and Faff played on Radio Kent's Folk Show which goes out every Sunday evening at 9pm.  We were delighted to meet the presenter, Doug Welch, and to play four of our songs.  The evening also involved a chat with Doug about Fiddle and Faff, and the experience of doing this really made us think about our work and how we approach creating a performance which engages people.  Doug asked us about our influences, and we talked about the gig by Anna & Elizabeth at The Bower House in Maidstone which we'd attended earlier in the year.  Anna & Elizabeth are singers and instrumentalists whose sparse and atmospheric arrangements of traditional Appalachian mountain ballads have brought them international acclaim.  

When we heard them we were captivated by the way their performances draw the audience into their world.  Their singing is truthful and they tell the story from right inside the song. Check them out for yourselves........./http://www.annaandelizabeth.com/
