Live at The Old Stables....
April 19th 2018 - Emily Maguire and Saskia Griffiths-Moore
A classically-trained multi-instrumentalist with five albums and two books to her name, Emily Maguire is truly “a talent to be reckoned with" (R2 Magazine), her strong, thought-provoking lyrics, supremely expressive vocals and stunning live performances winning her fans across the globe.
Living for four years in a shack on a farm in Australia where she made goats cheese to finance her first two albums, Emily returned to the UK in 2007 and toured extensively with some of the world's great singer-songwriters, including Eric Bibb and American legend Don McLean. Her third album 'Believer', released in 2009, received regular airplay on Radio 2 and won rave reviews in the music press, Maverick Magazine hailing it “a masterpiece.
As an advocate for mental health, Emily speaks frequently in the media about combating the stigma of mental illness. She has been featured several times on Radio 4 including Woman's Hour, Loose Ends and Midweek, where she was interviewed by Libby Purves talking about her book 'Start Over Again'.
Her latest album 'A Bit Of Blue' was released in February 2017.
Praise for Emily Maguire:
"Exquisite" - Uncut
"A class cct" - The Mirror
"A true artist" - R2 Magazine
Music for the soul" - Maverick
And joining Emily will be the wonderful Saskia Griffiths-Moore. Saskia's authentic contemporary folk sound has found her featured on twice on Sky Television (2017, 2018), and her newest single 'All For You' is currently receiving regular BBC play across the country. Frequently compared to Joan Baez, Joni Mitchell and Eva Cassidy for her extraordinary vocal tone, Saskia's original songs draw on the genre's of Americana, roots & darker folk music.
Doors open at 7.30pm with entertainment starting at around 8pm.
