Polly Gone Wrong & Kirsty McGee
Thu 24 Oct, 7:45pm
The Leconfield Hall, £15
A one off night with two special artists
Get ready for some spine- tingling close harmony acapella from vocal trio Polly Gone Wrong. Performing original songs baked with folk and blues, improvisation and close harmony, their powerful, soulful voices playfully mix words, notes, hums, beats, sometimes a saw, a bass or a clog…but mostly just voice.
“Lively, rhythmical and at times positively bizarre!”
Somewhere between Jazz, Folk, Gospel and Americana there’s an area of music that doesn’t have a name.
With a cartographer’s attention to detail, Kirsty McGee – a wandering maverick and spellbinding live performer with a voice that has been described as having the texture of smoke & velvet – has spent the past eighteen years and seven albums mapping this place, tracking the common origins of song.
Coming to Petworth for the first time, we’re delighted that Kirsty will be joining us for what promises to be a special, special evening.
"The words drip with meaning. This breathlessly fragile and aching collection almost drowns in McGee's absolute need to sing" - ★★★★ Q
