This is a past event.
We have 150 words so we’re going to make this bio as aloof as possible. We’re incredibly different twin sisters, who have been gigging in and around London for the past few years. We don’t take ourselves too seriously and we may not be the most professional of acts but we have a jolly good time up on stage and always have a lot to laugh about by the end of the night. Feel free to come and have a chat with us or if you like our music, we also have our CD ‘Rough And Ready’ on sale at the merchandise stall. For all things K & N related go to our website and for all future events find us on Facebook.
Derbyshire raised singer-songwriter Hannah Haynes began playing open mic nights and floor spots in London venues such as soho’s 12 bar club during her time at Camberwell college of arts from 2000-2003. She started gigging in 2005 around Cambridgeshire music venues including playing the Cambridge folk festival in 2006. She has supported acts including Jane Taylor and Bic Runga and In Summer 2008 launched her debut EP “The Path We Walk” under her maiden name Hannah Whitehall, bringing together a collection of evocative and carefully crafted songs. Her music is contemplative, aesthetic and honest, characterised by a smooth and unique vocal texture which has been described as ‘musical sunshine’! Life experience, love of nature, friendships and spirituality form the basis of her inspiration. Melodic and folky, Hannah has been likened to female vocalists such as Patti Griffin and Jewel and is influenced by her love of celtic artists including Damien Dempsey and Gemma Hayes.
