Another fantastic musician is about to take the trip to Boscastle and perform for us at the Village Hall. Come and hear the wonderful Miranda Sykes who will be performing a solo concert in this intimate venue.
Originally from Lincolnshire, but now based in Devon, Miranda Sykes has been described as a ‘musical chameleon’ reflecting the way that she so easily slips between musical genres as diverse as folk, jazz and rock / pop. She continues to build a solo repertoire of contemporary and narrative songs that are showcased to critical acclaim on her first solo album “Bliss” Miranda’s rich, spine tingling vocals and strident yet sensitive double bass playing are much in demand and she enjoys working alongside some of the finest musicians in the world, performing for 20 years with Show of Hands.
As a double bassist and singer she has worked with Rex Preston, Pressgang, Robb Johnson, Firebrand, Steafan Hannigan, Leon Rosselson, Bill Jones, Roger Wilson, Alan Burke, Kirsty McGee, Jenny Crook, Reg Meuross and Little Johnny England; and has toured throughout the United Kingdom, North America, Canada and Europe.
Increasingly in demand as a performer, 2024 brought a second tour with Hannah Martin, a new Baring-Gould Centenary project with Jim Causley, summer festivals with vocal group Daphne’s Flight, a tour with The Phil Beer Trio and a new solo album and tour “Out Of The Woods” which features a collection of songs that chart Miranda’s course through her own “journey of isolation, illness and recovery”, and aims to brings listeners as much comfort as they did her over the past few turbulent years.
I am very pleased to welcome her to Boscastle Village Hall on 18th January 2025 at 7.30pm. Doors 6.45 when the bar will be open. For more info and tickets (at £15) see https://snappytickets.co.uk/events/miranda-sykes-in-concert/
It would be great to see you supporting great live music in the village.
