lady Maisery
Uniquely captivating band LADY MAISERY return with their first studio album in six years. The combined vocal and multi-instrumental talents of Hazel Askew, Hannah James and Rowan Rheingans (individually three of the most accomplished and adventurous artists in modern folk) transmute to form a unified voice, carrying stories of sisterhood, human struggle, the joy of living and the vitality of music.
Their Folk Chart topping new album, Tender – released to critical acclaim in November 2022 – comprises original songs written by Lady Maisery, as well as contemplative and personal interpretations of work by Björk, Tracy Chapman and the late Lal Waterson. An arresting record that explores the power in vulnerability and the strength in kindness, these are songs which acknowledge our collective wounds while striving forward with a visceral hope for the future.
Frequent festival headliners, Lady Maisery have for over a decade enraptured audiences throughout the UK and Europe. Their return to the live stage has been celebrated recently with some stunning performances including a sold out Celtic Connections concert sharing a stage with The Unthanks.
We're excited to present an evening of music with Lady Maiserly at St Mary's Church, Broughty Ferry (a change to original venue) on Friday October 11th 2024.
