WILDBIRDS AND PEACEDRUMS (London Social, 02/03/09)



Wowee. I thought Wildbirds and Peacedrums were good the four previous time I’d seen them, but turns out I’d seen nothing yet. Adding steel-drum and xylophone to the traditional mix of vocals, drums and zither does wonders in terms of enlivening the set, and the almost frightening passion Mariam Wallentin puts into her performance is breathtaking in the literal sense of the word. One of the best live bands around, and the most impressive set of 2009 so far.
