Saturday 1st February 2025 at 7:30pm.
A joyful mix of old vinyl blues, gospel, ’30s jazz, and theatrical ballads delivered in soft tones of smoke and velvet.
On 1st February 2025, Chetnole Village Hall will be hosting Kirsty McGee accompanied by Rick Foot on double bass.
From activist beginnings, singer-songwriter Kirsty McGee has solidly toured around the UK and Europe for 15 years, releasing 7 albums. Collaborators in her Hobopop Collective have included New York jazz legend Marc Ribot (Tom Waits), Nick Blacka & Rob Turner (Gogo Penguin).
With a voice that has been described as having the texture of ‘smoke and velvet’ her ever-evolving sound has been described as ‘filmic, joyful and dirty with hints of gospel and blues’. An innate curiosity, a DIY ethic and with an abiding love of the Great American Songbook, have produced 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. Ever in search of the authentic, the real and the honest, McGee continues to plough her own furrow and to work with the kind of musical visionaries that, of themselves, give kudos to her art.
