Acclaimed duo The Black Feathers bring their captivating blend of folk and Americana to Norden Farm Centre for the Arts on Thursday 19 November at 8pm. Tickets are £17.50 (plus a £1.90 per transaction booking fee).
If you were of the belief that The Black Feathers are named because of their love of dark humour and the smooth blending of harmony, you’d be wrong. If you were told that the name is more concerned with recognition of their gentle souls, a predilection for dark clothing and the sonic tumult of the plethora of (mainly US) progression-metal bands doing mega-business around the world in the 1990s and beyond, you might doubt those who said so, but they would be accurate.
The sonic architecture of their lyrics and musical composition takes its imperious scope from a love of blended vocal harmony and idiosyncratic guitar shapes.
Americana to some, folk to others, The Black Feathers have those qualities in expansive quantity. Sian Chandler’s soaring, dramatic, melodious but powerful voice is a perfect counterpoint to Ray Hughes’ piquant vocals and his sparkling and occasionally spicy guitar motifs.
Seeing and hearing them will leave you with a smile on your face and a glowing heart of delight. You might not think that is possible when you’ve just spent some time hearing the themes of the songs they lay before an audience. But it is testament to their sunny dispositions, infectious laughter and amused self-deprecation that you can only come away from a gig feeling a whole heap better about yourself and life.
This is a duo who love what they play and play what they love with panache, humour, delight and rather a lot of commentary on the downside of being human.
Tickets are £17.50 (plus a £1.90 per transaction booking fee).
