The Lewes Arms Folk Club is delighted to welcome Laura
as our guest on Saturday 25th. November.
Laura Hewison is a young musician who combines voice
and cello to produce innovative and expressive arrangements of both
traditional and original songs. Laura has performed extensively regionally and
beyond and as well as solo performing, she is involved in a number of bands
and ensembles, two of which (Bmused and The Art of Kissing) were chosen to
perform at the Sound 05 festival at The Sage, Gateshead. As a member of
folkESTRA North!, directed by Kathryn Tickell, Laura's interest in traditional
music grew and she performed at festivals such as Sidmouth and Towersey.
As
a winner of New Roots 2006, Laura performed at Sidmouth Folk Week and various
folk clubs throughout the country. New Roots judges' comments were:
"Laura is a charismatic performer and her presence
captures the audience", "Lots of energy", "Totally involved in the music",
"Fearlessly adventurous arrangements", "Terrific
potential!"
Laura is studying Folk and Traditional Music at
Newcastle University.
Laura also performs with Sarah Miller as part of the
duo 'The Evil Sweeties' and with the band 'The Red Letter Suits'.
