Double Bill: Fly Yeti Fly & Pound Sound
Standard: £12
A special double bill, especially for Blue Sky Festival 2023.
The Pound Sound is a community choir that’s been running at Pound Arts for the past 16 years. Made up of a friendly bunch of local people, they’re led by Chris Samuel who encourages them to sing for fun and the sheer joy of singing. Come along and enjoy their broad repertoire that includes pop, folk, gospel and world harmonies – something to appeal to all tastes!
With their own unique flavour of delicate-but-distinctive folk, Fly Yeti Fly are guaranteed to put a smile on your face. Blending rich vocal harmonies with intricate guitar arrangements, mandolin and harmonica, and with a warmth of spirit that radiates from the stage, the Wiltshire-based duo weave songs and stories about connection, community and the seasons, with a sound that is reminiscent of the late-’60s folk scene. Now living on their canal boat on the Kennet & Avon, their music is heavily influenced by the ebb and flow of life on the water.
“…Fly Yeti Fly are a seriously incredible duo…just stunning…” James Santer, BBC Introducing
“Combinations of mandolin, guitar, harmonica and vocal harmonies allow Fly Yeti Fly to layer their material with becalming webs that captivate the listener.” www.emergingindiebands.com
“Fly Yeti Fly were simply outstanding. There is a whiff of Haight Ashbury in an English Country Garden about this outfit. Great songs, soft, haunting, fragile vocals, and a warmth and purity of spirit that radiates from the stage.” Festivals For All
