KindredSpiritDuo

The Kindred Spirit Duo have been booked to perform at a fantastic looking, weekend, mind, body and spirit festival, in Bedfordshire, called the Awakened Spirit Festival. The festival is going to be taking place at the beautiful Clophill Centre and the Kindred Spirit Duo will be performing a mixture of Elaine's, original, spiritual songs - like "Kindred Spirit" and "Children Of The Stars" alongside some better known, Celtic flavoured Irish, country and pop covers.

The Kindred Spirit Duo have their first public gig, since the lockdowns began in March 2020! It is at the Magpie and Crown, Brentford, on Friday, July 16th, from 8pm. They will be playing a great mix of 60s - present day pop, Irish and country songs and tunes. If you'd like to celebrate this first gig back with them, it would be advisable to contact the pub to book a seat, because of social distancing rules limiting audience numbers!

Martin Ash is also a classical violin and viola player with the excellent Flux Ensemble, which is a flexible line-up of classical strings players and also offers larger ensembles and bespoke line-ups as well as string arrangements. The Kindred Spirit Duo can be booked as part of a larger package for more complicated, lavish events. An example might be a wedding, requiring a string quartet for the reception meal and a lively Kindred Spirit Ceilidh for the evening's dancing, with the Kindred Spirit Duo performing popular songs in the breaks between dances.

The Kindred Spirit Duo have recently teamed up with a professional caller, to provide excellent, affordable and flexible 'Kindred Spirit Celildhs' for events, to really get the party going! Being a smaller unit than a full band reduces the cost while retaining excellent quality and being vocalists as well with a full repertoire of pop, Irish and country songs allows them to provide entertainment while guests are resting or having refreshments.

The Kindred Spirit Duo are offering a 10% discount to customers for the month of September 2020.

If you are looking for some excellent live music to pep up your party or celebration, contact Elaine and make a booking now!

The Kindred Spirit Duo have a wide-ranging mix of pop, Irish and country at their fingertips, to suit many tastes of acoustic music. They are also polished, professional, enthusiastic, self contained with PA, lighting and transport and easy to work with.

Several gigs have been cancelled due to Coronavirus! Keep an eye on the gig list to see whether later gigs are going to happen!

The duo are going to be playing at the FANTASTIC Surrey Food Festival on Saturday, 27th April at 3pm.

The festival goes on for the Saturday 27th AND Sunday 28th of April, on the lovely Old Deer Park, Richmond Upon Thames, beside the river Thames and doesn't only feature excellent, live music. The gates will be opened at 10am on both days for a thoroughly extravagant foodie sensual assault. Local businesses will be showcasing an exquisite range of different food & drink, traders will be demonstrating and selling their products in the Marketplace and there's even a Kids Zone to keep your little ones entertained while you indulge. Local charities will benefit from the proceeds.

The duo have been asked to play for Twickenham Rowing Club's special Open Day on Sunday 23rd September, on Eel Pie Island!

The club will be open from midday to 7pm and there will be a bar, cream teas and our fun, foot-stomping live music from 2pm!

Eel Pie Island has an impressive live music heritage. It was the site of the Eel Pie Island Hotel, a genteel 19th-century building that hosted ballroom dancing during the 1920s and 1930s. In the 1960s some legendary rock and R&B groups performed there, including groups like The Rolling Stones, The Who and The Yardbirds. Find out more detail.

Entry is free! Don't miss it!

The Kindred Spirit Duo have been asked to support the legendary and talented folk rock band, Gryphon, at the Claygate Music Festival.

Gryphon is a legendary, 70s prog folk rock band. They use a huge range of early musical instruments like crumhorns and recorders and dazzle audiences with their virtuosity and unique, prog arrangements of early and folk rock numbers. Forty years on, they have just started touring again and are a truly unmissable experience!

The Kindred Spirit Duo will be playing a complementary, original and folk edged set to support the band in a beautiful church venue.

The Kindred Spirit Duo have been picked to play the Hornsey Music Festival Main Stage on the Saturday afternoon of this excellent weekend festival!

This Fuller pub sells a great range real ales too - so get on down to Hornsey for brilliant live music and festival fun!

The Kindred Spirit Band went down so well at the Swan Inn, Isleworth, for their St Patricks Night gig this year that they have already been booked again for St Patrick's Night 2018! Irish themed gigs seem to be quite popular, so we have put together an "Irish Showreel" YouTube, which you can see on the sidebar. The show reel has footage from the recent Rendez-Vous, Tall Ships Regatta, in Greenwich, as well as from the Swan Inn, Isleworth gig.
