About Kirsty McGee With a voice that has been described as having the texture of 'smoke and velvet' & drawing on Americana, old vinyl blues, gospel & '30s jazz McGee makes music that's hard to categorise but difficult to ignore. In 2013 her song Sandman was featured on UK filmmaker Danny Boyle’s movie Trance & tweeted about by Emma Watson. Over 20 years on the road have taken her from the Mojave Desert to arctic Norway, touring in 11 countries.  2019 saw the release of McGee's 8th album The Deafening Sound of Stars.' Her Hobopop Collective has attracted world class players & collaborators including Marc Ribot (Tom Waits) & Nick Blacka (GoGo Penguin). Whilst McGee’s music is something of a best kept secret , Sandman enjoys 45k monthly Spotify plays & a large following in Turkey. She will be playing with Wareham based double bass player Rick Foot whose understated and darkly skewed songs will feature at the start of the evening. https://open.spotify.com/artist/1KfSxrn8dyAG0BVM40LN35 “An unqualified celestial masterpiece and the most ineffable romantic album of the year. One to fall in love with and to.” Mike Davies, Folk Radio UK Genre: Singer-songwriter; folk noir; jazz; Americana - Sounds like: Laura Marling, Renee Elise Goldsberry, Lhasa de Sela, Agnes Obel, Madeleine Peyroux, Ane Brun, Nick Drake, Tom Waits, Ella Fitzgerald  The words drip with meaning. This breathlessly fragile and aching collection almost drowns in McGee's absolute need to sing.  - Q ★★★★  A fascinating talent.  - Clash  One of the most beautiful yet gutsy voices on the English folk scene.  - Bearded  Rich, versatile and immaculately controlled.  - Americana-UK  Absolutely superb, memorable... I love her songs.  - Bob Harris, BBC Radio 2  Bewitching, exquisite and skeletal.  - Q ★★★★  A quiet triumph.  - fRoots  Confident and earthy - one to watch.  - Uncut
