Naomi Bedford ("An English Emmylou," Justin Currie, Del Amitri) and Paul Simmonds (founding member of The Men They Couldn’t Hang) bring their tour de force show to The Sound Lounge!Naomi Bedford’s unique voice has long gathered support from all corners of the musical fraternity. Her emotive hybrid of plaintive British folk and high lonesome Americana has gained plaudits from such diverse artists as Peter Buck, Shirley Collins, Chris Difford, Linda Thompson, Iggy Pop and many others.
In a series of albums with musical partner Paul Simmonds (The Men They Couldn't Hang), Naomi has forged a clear modern identity as both an interpreter and creator of folk song. The duos last album Strange News Has Come To Town received 4 and 5 star reviews across the board
"Bedford has an unmistakeable voice, with fumes of vintage 70’s Dolly wafting in from afar. The band are anything but ramshackle, providing a reliable lurch to her songs, self-penned and borrowed, fusing cotton checked shirts country with the folk songs of old England.....they provide Aural perfection on a old tin plate"
"Bedford has a way with betrayal .....her version of The Blacksmith is an eerie scorching tour de force" MOJO Magazine
Louder than war said " possible album of the year in it's genre and beyond"
