Marcella Puppini and Katharine Blake formidably join forces to create a macabre supergroup where tales of obsessive love are riddled with murder, betrayal and necromancy. Taking inspiration from real-life crimes such as the infamous Red Barn Murder, the duo delve into the genre of dark country through traditional ballads and original songs. Expect haunting harmonies, gothic drama, and spellbinding storytelling as these queens of vocal weave their story telling magic.

This candlelit concert unfolds within the gothic grandeur of Brompton Cemetery Chapel, a most fitting setting for tales where love and death drift side by side through the flickering veil of the uncanny.
