VIBRANT female folk act Lady Maisery will showcase their new album with a live performance in the Lake District later this month.

Bold and innovative, the trio are to perform their third album, the highly-anticipated Cycle, at Keswick’s Theatre by the Lake on Sunday October 30.

The latest album from the gifted vocalists, with their unique approach to harmony singing and striking musical arrangements, will include both a traditional repertoire and original compositions accompanied by harp, fiddle, banjo and accordion.

Lady Maisery took the folk world by storm in 2011 with their critically-acclaimed debut album, Weave and Spin, while their second album, Mayday, cemented their reputation as the folk band to watch.

Now performing sell out shows across the UK and Europe, the trio comprising Hannah James (accordion), Hazel Askew (harp) and Rowan Rheingans (fiddle and banjo) come together in a stunning celebration of united voices and storytelling.

The trio are also one of the foremost English proponents of "diddling", or tune singing - a traditional type of singing which has nearly died out in England, but is still prevalent in Scandinavia and other parts of Europe.

Sounding more akin to birdsong, this form of singing without words is a perfect showcase for the trio’s musicality which they display in distinctive harmonies.

Sometimes lush and rich, sometimes dark, invigorating and with sumptuous clashes, Lady Maisery are skillful explorers of the power and beauty of folk song.

Each member of the band is also a highly-respected folk performer in their own right: Hannah James is currently touring her first solo show Jigdoll, Rowen Rheingans plays with BBC Folk Singer of the Year Nancy Kerr, and Hazel Askew is a key member of the English-Scottish supergroup Songs of Separation, whose album debuted in the indie charts top 20 in January this year.

The show in Keswick starts at 7.30pm, and tickets are available from the Theatre by the Lake box office.
