Lucie Silvas

One of Britain's finest singer/songwriters, Lucie Silvas has had success all over Europe with several top ten singles and a platinum album. A gifted, versatile singer with the vocal range of Christina Aguilera and a striking song writing sensibility all of her own, she has written hit songs for the likes of Rachel Stevens, Gareth Gates, Liberty X and Will Young and dueted with such luminaries as Lionel Richie.

A natural performer, she has a sensitivity to emotion, melody and storytelling that belies her tender years. With such singular talent it is no surprise that Lucie counts Chris Martin and Burt Bacharach amongst others as fans.

World Roots

Le Vent du Nord

Wednesday 22 July 8pm

Le Vent du Nord

£12 | £10 Concession Buy Tickets

Four singers and multiinstrumentalists, Le Vent du Nord (The North Wind) are at the vanguard of the Canadian music of Quebec.

In 2005 they were named North American Trad Artist of the Year, and have twice won Best Canadian Folk Album.

With fiddle, guitar, accordion, bass/hurdygurdy and vocal, they sing both original songs and those taken from the traditional repertoire in their native French.

Le Vent du Nord's music is both fresh and bound to tradition, but perhaps their greatest strength is an unmistakable stage presence: energetic, dynamic and generous, in touch with their audience and sure to delight them.

"Le Vent du Nord are one of the hippest exponents of Quebecois music. The quartet coaxed the crowd on to their feet." The Scotsman
