Diane Cluck Spring Tour

St Mary in the Castle, Hastings, GB

£12
Entry Requirements: Under 16s to be accompanied by an adult

DIANE CLUCK is a singer-songwriter of intuitive folk music. She tours the US, UK and Europe, employing singing as a healing, textural experience in which audiences may wander, ponder, or simply be. Her vocal style has been noted for its clipped, glottal beauty, and described by NPR as “an unlikely mix of Aaron Neville, the Baka people, and Joni Mitchell…unaffected yet unusual”. She accompanies herself on various instruments including guitar, piano, harmonium, zither, and a copper pipe instrument she built by hand. With an unusual finger-picking style producing harp-like tones, Time Out New York cited her as a “brilliant idiosyncratic guitarist”.

Diane contributed to New York’s burgeoning Antifolk scene in the early 2000s. Since then, singer-songwriters Laura Marling, Florence Welch (of Florence And The Machine), and Sharon Van Etten have cited Diane’s work as influential.

Diane released her seventh album, Boneset, through Important Records in 2014. A new album, Common Wealth, is in the works for 2019.

We're thrilled to have her playing in our Crypt Gallery this April.

“I grew up on 60s music, but my first contemporary music love was Diane Cluck.” -*Laura Marling *

“Bell-clear and hotly austere, her lithe, dynamic voice hasn’t much kin. Categorizing her as folk is simplistic…(Cluck) emanates something humble but mythic. Appalachia or ancient Athens? Both hum and lilt in the unpretentious drama of her airy songs.” -*Time Out New York *

*With support from the brilliant Trevor Moss and Hannah-Lou *

Trevor Moss & Hannah-Lou released their fifth critically-acclaimed album 'Fair Lady London' in November.

The duo have performed everywhere from The Royal Albert Hall to the home of the Grand Ole Opry- The Ryman Auditorium, from The Warsaw Congress to The Greek Theatre LA, and been championed across national press and radio, including by Bob Harris.

TM&HL are founders of the legendary acoustic club 'The Lantern Society' held in London and right here in Hastings.
