Introduction 
This page both describes and allows you to hear the sound of Elaine Samuels and Kindred Spirit. Their material varies, depending on line-up - solo, duo, trio or band - and the type of gig. For instance, concerts would consist of mainly original work, written by Elaine, whereas pub gigs would consist of mainly 60s to modern classic pop / rock and folk / rock covers.

Description of the Band
Elaine with Gavin, Annie, Mike and Alan play as the completely live, electrifying live band, “Kindred Spirit”; featuring Elaine’s beautiful vocals, powerful songs and guitar playing, Gavin's incredible violin playing, Annie’s brilliant flute and sax playing, Mike’s driving bass guitar and Alan’s expert drumming.

The band, are renowned for their powerful, original, contemporary folk / rock numbers, often mystical in nature; like "Green Man” and “Morrigan” as well as stunning takes on some classic tracks including Eagles, Kinks, Pink Floyd, Rolling Stones, Corrs and Fleetwood Mac numbers. They will take your breath away with an incredible version of Bob Dylan’s, “All Along The Watchtower”. The stunning nature of the treatment of these tracks is due to the
“hauntingly beautiful and deeply emotional” voice of Elaine enhanced by the extraordinary flute playing of Annie Parker in combination with the phenomenal violin playing of Gavin Jones.

Another very special feature of the Kindred Spirit band is the musical interplay between lead instrumentalists Gavin and Annie. Not only do they produce beautiful solos and foot stomping jigs and reels but they are both superb at on the spot improvisations and fly into thrilling musical duels live on stage.
