IF YOU WOULD LIKE TO BOOK US FOR 2008 then please contact us on the email link. 'Mythago' and 'Of Dark Woods And Bright Fires' CD's £5.00 + £1 p+p ************************************************* Tinkerscuss are sisters Erin and Bryony Holden; originally from Liverpool, England, but who now live in the south Gloucestershire Cotswolds. Their music is sometimes dark and ‘eerie’ / sometimes light and ‘joyous.’ (Early John Martyn songs are perfect for festivals) but always delivered gently and sweetly with a heady mix of Bryony's rich, powerful vocals and Erin's stunning guitar style. As one listener succinctly said "sweet seduction & honeyed venom" The Tinkerscuss experience has the listener held captive with flowing melodies and beautifully wrought narrative links between the songs. . very much in the style of the story-tellers of old. When not making music, the girls are busy with their owl rescue and rehabilitation charity (Cotswold Owl Rescue Trust) You can visit the website at www.owlrescue.supanet.com. ************************************************* REVIEW by FolkWords www.folkwords.com *************************************************Delicate, powerful beauty.Mythago from Tinkerscuss is a rare, rich treasure of story and myth delivered with refined atmosphere and edge. Mythago encompasses depth, power and force delicately applied. Just a touch is all that's needed to reach out and enthrall the listener. There is within this album a mix of love, fear, darkness and light that carries a dreadful beauty.To Make You Stay is gentle soft seduction, while The Cursing Song has a guitar that slithers up and down your spine. And their outstanding version of Long Lankin will linger in your head for a long time. Fine Horseman is magic - probably best listened to in front of a single candle in the dark - just to make sure you're spooked. An album of passionate music. *************************************************
