What they
say… A
seasoned session musician and orchestral fiddle player from an early age,
Eleanor was first signed to Geffen Records and has toured the world,
achieving chart success in many countries with the eponymous album
‘Eleanor McEvoy’. A move from Geffen to Sony Columbia yielded two
further highly rated albums ‘What’s Following Me’ and ‘Snapshots’ before
she embarked on her own musical journey. ‘Yola’, her first
independent release, was Hi-Fi Plus album of the year and became a
standard reference in the world of High End Audio. This was followed
by the moody late night album ‘Early Hours’ and the highly acclaimed ‘Out
There’ Eleanor's new album, 'Love Must
Be Tough', has just been released to great reviews (and airtime on Radio
2’s Terry Wogan show) The album represents a completely new
departure, featuring a band of Ireland's finest session players and songs
from a wide range of writers (click here for a
CD review in NetRhythms). “Immaculately
tuneful, lyrically potent tales of love and life”

What they
say… In
2003, Thea achieved commercial breakthrough with the album Avalanche,
which became Radio 2's Album Of The Week and included the hit singles
Juliet and Mainstream. In the two years following this, she toured the US
and Canada five times, including a 2004 pre-presidential-election tour
with long-time fan Joan Baez, who joins Thea for the final track on her
just-released CD, Liejacker. Indeed,
over the years, Thea has collaborated and shared stages with some of
music's most revered names including the Waterboys, Steve Earle, Martha
Wainwright, Peggy Seeger, Karine Polwart and Beth Orton. Noted Thea
Gilmore fans include Bruce Springsteen - who regularly uses her tracks as
his pre-performance music. Thea
Gilmore is an artist of great talent and integrity, who really matters and
the show promises to be an unforgettable
night. "a
dream fusion of Lucinda Williams' songwriting expertise and Chrissie
Hynde's crystalline vocals" The
Guardian (10 June) "The
best British singer songwriter of the last ten years and then some"
Uncut "One
of the boldest and poetic lyricists currently working in British music.
Gilmore's English-rose appearance and clear, folky voice exude a
middle-class politeness quite at odds with the biting content of her
songs." The
Telegraph "...the
best wordsmith of her generation." The
Independent “ What
