Described as having a magical voice that ‘resonates and shimmers’ (Americana UK), one of those voices you just can’t ignore, Clementine Lovell’s exceptional musicianship and quality of songwriting draws you in and holds you captive. Her voice has been compared to English greats the calibre of Sandy Denny and Maddy Prior, as well as Joan Baez and Emmy Lou Harris. Clementine’s debut album Westbound, produced by Marion Fleetwood (Feast of Fiddles), is rooted in English and Irish folk and is ‘outstanding’ (Folk London Magazine), ‘spectacular’ (FATEA), ‘stunning’ (Bright Young Folk) and ‘contemporary and innovative’ (Irish Music Magazine).
She regularly performs with the Clementine Lovell Trio: Carmen Ruiz Vicente (Savannah Gardner) on percussion and Duncan Menzies (Copper Viper, Club Debris, Perkelt) on fiddle. She has collaborated with James Keay (Sam Lee), Robbie K Jones (Track Dogs) and Ric Sanders (Fairport Convention). She is excited to be co-writing with the incredible Daria Kulesh, and to be sharing the stage with her at the legendary Green Note.
Daria Kulesh has been described by Mike Harding as “one of the finest voices and one of the most intriguing and interesting songwriters on the present folk scene”.
Her debut release Eternal Child was described as “phenomenal”, her second album Long Lost Home has enjoyed rave reviews and multiple awards, including LCM Album of the Year, her third offering Earthly Delights was named “one of the year’s finest albums” by Folk Radio UK, and her latest studio release MotherLand is “near perfect” and “astonishing”, according to Liverpool Sound and Vision.
Daria has toured extensively in the UK and Europe, sharing stories and songs that are deeply personal but feel universal and timeless. Every performance is an “emotional, compelling and uplifting experience”, leaving the audiences “completely spellbound”.
Born in Russia but based in the UK for the last 15 years, she fearlessly explores her heritage and turbulent family history in Ingushetia (North Caucasus) with songs that “aren’t just sung, but lived” (FATEA).
