Spring is upon us and we’re coming out of hibernation and dusting off the weathered leaves……… by the long silence It probably appeared that we’d all been eaten by wolves…… we havn’t.
We have new Faunlings!!
Look what we found in the valley…… writing songs to sing to the hearts of many, whilst working in her Organic Bread shop here in Hebden ……
CLARE STAGG
With her folk- tinged songs laced with untethered emotion , Clare Stagg writes beautiful melodies which are both raw and honest. At only 22 years old her voice sounds beyond her years, touching the sounds of Sarah Mclachlan and Suzanne Vega but with a strong sense of her own enigmatic vocal delivery.
After a fateful remix hook up (by ourselves) her first release will be into the Electronic Dance music scene, which has already captured the attention of djs such as Armin van buuren , with her song ‘In the Spell’ gaining some 40,000 streams online……. Clare is currently working on her debut EP including an acoustic version of ‘In the Spell’ due for release on Faun this year…stay tuned!
