The Stray Birds at The Met Studio, Stafford Gatehouse - 1 September 2014

The Stray Birds flew into the UK direct from the Tonden Festival in Denmark. Just five hours after landing in Birmingham airport they opened their set at The Met Studio.

The audience were blown away by their multi instrumental musicianship and harmonies of a single voice microphone. Thank you Maya, Oliver and Charlie and come back soon.

Below are some pictures of the evening.

Chance to Win Tickets to See Carrie Elkin in concert on her UK Tour

With her Red House Records debut release, Call It My Garden, Carrie Elkin has emerged as one of the defining new voices in the world of Texas singer-songwriters, being celebrated by Texas Music Magazine as one of their artists of the year. The voice, the stories, the images, the grace and infectious enthusiasm, it's a complete package. But it's the power of her live performances that really have been creating an incredible buzz around this young artist. Maverick Magazine said it best, after a recent festival performance: "I have never seen a performer so in love with the act of singing. That's the gospel truth. Onstage Elkin was simply a force of nature."
