The Water Chorus are Ali Lawrenson (fiddle, banjo, melodeon), Jack Saville (guitar, bouzouki, bodhran) and Caitlin Chalmers (vocals, shruti box) – three friends who decided that, with so many weird instruments, there was no excuse not to form a folk band.
Clementine Lovell is a singer and accordion player with roots in both English and Irish folk, whose influences include folk rock/revival, classical, electronic and experimental music. She takes traditional songs and reworks them, as well as writing her own songs, engaging the audience with stories of ordinary people, and the struggles, joys and emotions that connect us and make us human. Clementine has a distinctive lyrical voice which can produce clear, soaring, eerie, and shimmering vocal lines, contrasting against the dark bassy accordion drones and weaving in amongst the piano accordion treble harmonies. She has collaborated with composer/pianist James Keay (co-writer of Sam Lee's album Old Wow), violinist Tom Leary (Feast of Fiddles), percussionist Robbie K Jones (Track Dogs/Steve Knightly), cellist/singer Marion Fleetwood (The Sandy Denny Project) and guitarist Vo Fletcher, and Ric Sanders (Fairport Convention). Clementine is in the process of recording her debut album, produced by Marion Fleetwood (Feast of Fiddles, TRADarr). She comes to the folk club after three recent sold out London performances including the Green Note Camden.
