Appearing at The Wesley Centre, Maltby on Saturday 3rd May as part of farewell tour are Daphne’s Flight, one of the most exciting vocal groups to emerge on the acoustic music scene.
Formed 25 years ago by five of the leading singer songwriters of their generation – Chris While, Julie Matthews, Melanie Harrold, Helen Watson and now Miranda Sykes, their energy on stage is matched only by their collective talents. They are unrivalled and sit firmly in a class of their own as singers, musicians and writers.
Imagine, if you can, the instrumental sparkle and songwriting creds of The Travelling Wilburys combined with the striking vocal prowess of Sweet Honey In The Rock. Then add the warmth and down-to-earth humour of The Derry Girls and you’ll be somewhere in Daphne’s territory. They create a unique sound and energy which unites singer-songwriter, folk, blues and more.
Crossing a huge range of topics and genres, blending folk, blues, jazz and pop all woven together with striking harmonies and supported by a range of instrumentation and percussion. The music of Daphne’s Flight is a magical layering of sensitivity, beauty, experience and empowerment. Their songs are thought provoking, uplifting, empowering and relatable. They continue to inspire audiences with the warmth, energy and sheer joy they bring to their performances.
On tour with a new album ‘Favourable Light’, they are, quite simply, a force to be reckoned with so join them at The Wesley Centre for what promises to be an unmissable final flight to the stage. Advance tickets are £20.00 and available from the venue reception on 01709 811118 or online (with booking fee) at www.wegottickets.com.
