Tiny Tin Lady have been together since 2004 and, in just four years, have become the most talked about band on the acoustic music scene, stunning audiences everywhere with their blend of brilliant, original songs, superb musicianship and spine-tingling harmonies. Originally from St Helens, this nu-acoustic four piece have already played the likes of Glastonbury, Fairport's Cropredy Convention, Trowbridge, the Big Session, Wickerman and Beautiful Days, to name a few. Self-described as "indie celery with a side of hummus" or perhaps more aptly "acoustic harmonic folk rock" Tiny Tin Lady, have toured with Midge Ure, Jah Wobble and the English Roots Band and last spring provided outstanding support for Fairport Convention's 40th Anniversary UK tour. Their first album The Sound of Requiem, released in 2005, received rave reviews from the music press. And this autumn their second album, Ridiculous Bohemia, was met with a wave of praise from mall corners of the music industry as one of the best albums of 2008. Their first solo tour in September met sell-out audiences and one gig had a packed audience on its feet demanding no less than three encores. Bandleader, Danni Gibbins, at just 23, has drawn praise from such great songwriters as Ralph McTell and Richard Thomson for her work and is being tipped to become a major songwriter. Her guitar work is brilliant, a percussive and complex style reminiscent of Davy Graham or Bert Jansch, driving and exciting in its intensity. Her voice is a warm, expressive presence, drawing her audience into her private world of acoustic intimacy. Beth Reed-Gibbins is 17 and the possessor of a voice of awesome technique, power and passion.The sheer emotive power of this astonishing young girl's voice can move audiences to spontaneous outpourings of applause mid-song. When she sang Sandy Denny's "Who knows where the time goes" with Fairport Convention on their 40th Anniversary tour, she received ovations everywhere and Fairport described her as "Simply incredible, an amazing voice". Helen Holmes is 22 and plays a funky, rootsy and jazzy bass – often with ska undertones - providing a solid ground for the others to build on. Her technique has drawn admiring comments from such four-string maestros as Fairport's Dave Pegg and Jah Wobble. She can shake and groove with the best and is recognised as one of the best female bassists in the UK. "Absolutely marvellous. Brilliant. Incredible voices." Robert Plant "Absolutely stunning. Their harmonies are the best I have heard in years." Daily Telegraph Read more on Last.fm. User-contributed text is available under the Creative Commons By-SA License; additional terms may apply.
