about

Talis Kimberley UK

"I'm a songwriter and singer; my songs are spun from folklore and history, stirred well with a hazel wand and served with cake. I'll sing you ravens and bones and the story behind the story, I'll sing you bread and apples, ghosts and knitting, and bring you home with a pocketful of feathers and hope"

This is the CD I listen to (and sing along with) in the car on my daily commute. My favourite is The Wyverary, a fantastic beast in a fantastic song . But I also love Villian's Cat and Hydrogen Burns. (And one of these days I'm going to catch that red dot too!!) I only "discovered" Cat Faber a few months ago - and then looked at some of the other filk songs I love and found she had written those as well :-) Lesley Moore
