Pure voice – pure pleasure
There’s no doubt where the magic of "November Song" lies - it’s Laura Hulse (lately of folk duo "Yealand Redmayne" and sometime singer with "The Owl Service") and her pure, ethereal, delicate voice. She has a breathtaking talent that has to be heard, and once heard it won’t be forgotten. Laura’s voice is equally at home with English folk song or hymn, and both are delivered with the same perfect vocal control.
If you can listen to her sing "Rose of Allendale" without a tear in your eye then your soul left you years ago. And her delivery of "In The Bleak Midwinter" has clarity of voice that many will envy and few will duplicate. The mournful longing of "North Country Maid" is just one more example of her evocative grace. Do your tired ears a favour – shut out the world’s noise and take the time to listen to Laura’s voice. As her reputation deservedly grows remember "November Song".
And when the CD comes out, buy it – and don’t forget I told you so.
