“Kindred Spirit” Duo featuring Elaine with Gavin Jones
In this line up, we have Elaine Samuels’ "haunting and beautiful" vocals and expert acoustic guitar playing woven skilfully with Gavin Jones' highly trained and inspired electric violin playing.
Elaine Samuels has been featured on
TV and radio as well as at festivals such as Glastonbury and Guildford. Gavin Jones sings wonderful harmonies and has been classically trained to a very high level on the violin (even having
had private lessons at the famous Yehudi Menhuin School). Gavin also has a flair
for jazz, blues and improvisation on the violin. He puts his electric violin
through an effects board to create a fantastic range of sound-scapes from
delays through to rock distortions.
The Kindred Spirit duo perform a powerful live set of classic pop / rock andcontemporary folk (including numbers like Pink Floyd, the Levellers, Crowded House and Eagles), more recent songs (like the Corrs, Snow Patrol and Kaiser Chiefs), electrifying celtic jigs & reels, a great version of "The Devil Went Down To Georgia" and one or two "perceptive and intriguing" originals.
You can hear some examples of their live set in the clips below.
