About the event
“You guys absolutely rock” - BBC Radio 3
Blending ancient folk traditions with a bold contemporary flair, Wise Woman arrives with a heady collision of lush vocal harmonies, cinematic strings and 90s girl power. The group’s “startling and shimmering” (Folk Wales) blend of folk, jazz, and musical theatre sounds has enchanted audiences far and wide, from Radio 3 to Celtic Connections to Secret Garden Party. Spinning tales on diverse subjects such as fenland witches, environmental activists and drag artists, powerful lyrics and captivating storytelling transports audiences on a unique and transformative musical journey.
This tour celebrates their upcoming EP “Hold The Wonder,” (March 2025), which centres the band’s mesmerising acappella sounds with original songs of protest, personal discovery and perhaps a dash of shapeshifting.
