A haunting electric sitar, a fiddler on fire, and, floating above it all, the ethereal voices of three women
in gorgeous harmony, all blended into an alchemical potion of myth yoked to deep percussive grooves.
Think vintage Fairport Convention fronted by strong female harmonies. The songs: Trad to Neo-Trad. The
Strangelings are Maura and Pete Kennedy, Chris Thompson, Rebecca Hall, Ken Anderson, Cheryl Prashker and Eric Lee.
