Outstanding folk talents
There isn't enough room to write about all the achievements that Odette and Craig have sccomplished over their music career here. I urge you to read more about them on their websites, https://craigjoinermusic.com/ and https://www.odettemichell.com/ which will hopefully make you understand what outstanding folk talents they are.
ODETTE MICHELL
"One of the brightest new names to have emerged full-grown on the country’s folk scene in recent years" - FOLK RADIO.
Odette Michell is an award-winning British singer-songwriter and multi-instrumentalist with a rich foothold in the folk tradition.
In April 2019, Odette released her debut album ‘The Wildest Rose’. The album gained widespread positive acclaim followed by a string of live interviews, and featured notable musical contributions from Phil Beer, and Toby Shaer.
CRAIG JOINER
Whether lamenting a love lost, celebrating the calming beauty of nature or relating the epic tale of a struggle at sea, Craig’s songs are informed by experience, observation, vivid imagination and a desire to take his music “deeper into folk”.
Although Craig has forged a career and won repute in the rock arena, folk music has always been his true muse and calling. “As a 15-year-old, I played my first gig, guitar in hands, at the Cellar Folk Club in Hemel Hempstead,” he recalls. “Life and opportunities then led me elsewhere, but here I am again, having travelled full circle. It feels like home and it’s so wonderful to be here.”
