The Small Hall Sessions will be at the Otané Town Hall on 29th of Jan 2025 with Charm of Finches!
Doors will open from 6:00pm with meals, drinks and desserts available. Music starts at 6:30pm.
Australian sister duo Charm of Finches delivers intricate folk-pop that is simultaneously graceful and darkly bewitching. Their seamless blood harmonies traverse melancholy and wonder in equal measure.
Their debut at Auckland Folk Festival takes them to New Zealand for the first time, performing songs from their latest album as well as exciting new material. The sisters, Mabel and Ivy Windred-Wornes, have toured extensively through the UK, Europe and Canada in 2022, 2023 and 2024 and now very excited to add New Zealand to their circuit.
Their fourth studio album ‘Marlinchen In The Snow’ was recorded in rural Nova Scotia with acclaimed Canadian producer Daniel Ledwell (Jenn Grant, Oh Pep!), inspired by the frozen beauty of the landscape and their transient life on the road with their music. It was released on iconic Australian Indie label Spunk Records in April 2024, debuting on the national ARIA charts Top 30 Aus Albums.
Their third album ‘Wonderful Oblivion’ released in 2021 through New York-based label Anti Fragile Music saw them win the Australian Folk Music Awards Best Folk Album (2022) and Music Victoria Best Contemporary Folk Act (2021).
They have been nominated twice for the prestigious Australian Music Prize.
“Wonderful Oblivion is a triumphant indie folk effort – nostalgic yet fresh, haunting, but at the
same time serene. ” - We Found New Music
“Melbourne sister duo Charm of Finches are perched for stardom. For lovers of tight sibling harmonies, chamber folk, and those who long to be carried-away by a lullaby...” – Ariana Morgenstern KCRW Today's Top Tune
