Late Notes Folk<\/div>\n
Vashti Bunyan plus The Cedar<\/div>\n
Shimmering, pure voiced, other-worldy folk of elusive, indescribable beauty.<\/strong><\/div>\n

‘[Vashti Bunyan counts] Devendra Banhart and Joanna Newsom [as] superfans of her stunningly simple songs [and] ethereal voice. Her hushed, magical songs conjure up not so much “a world without end”, but one without time at all.’<\/em> THE GUARDIAN<\/p>\n

The legend: singer\/songwriter Vashti Bunyan<\/a> recorded one of the most retrospectively-revered of all British folk albums, ‘Just Another Diamond Day’, in 1970, then disappeared from view for 30 years. Following its re-release on CD, Vashti was sought out by new folk-troubadours such as Devendra Bandhart, Joanna Newsom and Adem and belatedly recorded a follow-up, ‘Lookaftering’.<\/p>\n

Since then, there’s been a film of her life; she appeared at Massive Attack’s Meltdown as part of the live soundtrack to ‘Blade Runner’; there are even rumours of a new album.<\/p>\n

‘Other-worldy folk … distinct in its own beauty, shimmering with her soporific tones and floating on the gentle wonder of her melodies.’<\/em> BBC<\/p>\n

And tonight she’s playing St George’s, supported by Bristol’s own fabulous cult attraction, The Cedar<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The Cedar: ‘Ambidextrous arrangements, great dynamic swoops, familial banter and a veritable Womad of instruments, the lasting impression is one of a quite wonderful and sumptuous performance.’<\/em>
