Yes, they are back! The wonderful Bevvy Sisters…!
15th December 8pm Letham Village Hall
We did not hesitate when we were offered the chance to bring the Bevvy Sisters back to Letham for a spectacular Christmas Bevvy.
The Bevvy Sisters mix equal measures of sweetness and sass, grit and glamour, heartbreak and hilarity, cut with a dash of potent Scottish spirit. Their radiantly triple-layered voices and artfully wide-ranging repertoire have won fervent acclaim and an ever-swelling fan-base across the UK roots scene. The Bevvy line-up teams longtime vocalist Heather MacLeod and one-man band David Donnelly with Kaela Rowan and Banana Sessions frontwoman Roberta Pia. The Bevvys’ signature creative alchemy, spanning genres from country to jazz, gospel to original indie-pop, resounds with renewed vitality standing out from the crowd in both style and substance. More intoxicating than ever: pure vocal magic, distilled to the power of three.
Originally formed as an offshoot of all-star swing combo The Loveboat Big Band, The Bevvy Sisters simultaneously channel the heritage of such classic sister-acts as the Beverleys, the Andrews and the Boswells, while their own diverse backgrounds and collective songwriting skills reinvent the female trio formula. Debut album St James Sessions, launched with a sold-out show at Glasgow’s world-famous Celtic Connections festival in 2010, won glowing reviews and UK-wide airplay, while captivating live shows continue to extend their fan-base. Besides headline appearances including Edinburgh Festival Fringe, Belgium’s Schotts Weekend, the Big Tent Festival and Orkney Folk Festival, they’ve collaborated with English folk star Eliza Carthy, Scottish super-trio Lau, and in an international project involving iconic fiddler and singer Dave Swarbrick, Canadian reggae artist Jason Wilson and Scotland’s legendary Dick Gaughan.
A wee taste of what you are in for: Bevvy Sisters – Up Above My Head
And yes, they are back too! The Coaltown Daisies!
The Daisies are no strangers to Letham Nights and we are delighted that they have agreed to support the Bevvy Sisters for our Christmas extravaganza.
They are the epitome of what it means to be a music lover. They love to play music, to share it with their audience whilst also having a deep respect and love of the music of other artists.
The Daisies fuse together the musical stylings of established singer-songwriters, Lynzy Moutter and Vivienne Bern. It is no surprise that their shared passion for music in all shapes and sizes steered them towards meeting in the middle and collaborating on their original songs. Detailing their music with dual harmonies, intelligent lyrics and raw emotion, they want nothing more than to perform in front of a great audience. The Daisies are ubiquitous performers appearing at numerous venues and events across Scotland including Celtic Connections, The Big Tent Festival & The Montrose Music Festival.
So we are in for quite some night! To hear the Daisies in action: Coaltown Daisies – Life in Motion
