Loreley

Reviews: "The most dramatic performance I've ever seen at a folk club!" - Loughton Folk Club "Loreley are an excellent folk duo, with a huge amount of potential and will benefit greatly from your project. They have the correct approach and approach all performances in a professional and enthusiastic manner." - Graham Steel, The Graham Steel Music Company "Loreley played a fantastic set combining authentic traditional folk music with a 21st Century edge." - Colin Williams, Hall of Sound. "Here's a band that were inspired by the Full English project and have just made their debut CD - check them out!" - Fay Hield, (University of Sheffield, The Full English band, The English Folk Dance and Song Society). "Two piece band Loreley quickly followed with tongue-twister lyrics and fast paced mandolin playing. Their next show... will be well worth attending!" - AceSpace, Newbury "Almost everyone grows up wanting to be a rock star or the like at some point, but I have a lot of respect for those who not only have musical talent but also the dedication to make something come of it. Maddy and Simon are two such people, and it is nice to see them make a success of traditional folk music, deep-rooted as it is in the lives of ordinary people for centuries. Loreley is the future of our past!" - Harrie Hayward, Datchet Border Morris Loreley are a young duo from Reading who play an exciting pairing of traditional folk lyrics with new music of their own composition. Since forming in late 2014, Maddy Glenn (vocals, percussion) and Simon James Chisholm (mandolin, guitar, concertina) have gone from strength to strength, already creating a name for themselves in the South-East's folk scene. With the recording of their debut EP, "Two Blind Mice" (released via Bandcamp 01/03/15), they are looking to bring their music to a wider audience outside of their local area. Loreley are an award-winning folk duo, founded in 2014 by singer Maddy Glenn and instrumentalist Simon Chisholm. Pairing trad lyrics to modern music.
