Subject: THE CLAQUE From: GUEST Date: 07 Mar 10 - 04:51 PM Have just seen this stunning outfit in performance.Never heard harmony singing like it,redefines the genre.Has anyone else heard this group?Their album on Wildgoose Records should be selling in millions. |
Subject: RE: THE CLAQUE From: Richard Bridge Date: 07 Mar 10 - 05:37 PM They are excellent. I'm not sure however that they compare with the early Young Tradition, and before Ramskyte became god-botherers they had an impressive 5-part wall of sound. Kimber's Men are also a fine wall of sound (and flesh). |
Subject: RE: THE CLAQUE From: Richard Bridge Date: 07 Mar 10 - 05:39 PM Oh, I should have said that I also like every generation of Coppers, and the Watersons were perhaps even better than the Young Tradition (again, so long as they stayed off hymns) |

Subject: RE: Review: the Claque From: SylviaN Date: 07 Mar 10 - 06:59 PM We have the Claque booked at the Old Oak Concert on April 21st during a rare visit North. Definitely one not to be missed if you love harmony singing. |

Subject: RE: Review: the Claque From: Valmai Goodyear Date: 08 Mar 10 - 04:32 AM They are the best new outfit I've heard for years. We've got them booked at the Lewes Saturday Folk Club to run an all-day ballad workshop and do an evening performance on Saturday 9th. April next year. Valmai (Lewes) |
Subject: RE: Review: the Claque From: doc.tom Date: 08 Mar 10 - 05:48 AM And some of us remember The Journeymen, Isca Fayre, Oak Leaves, Hollinmor - Exeter: Harmony: since forever. And the Claque maintain the tradition superbly. TomB |
