Nicky Schrire & Ariella Caira
Friends for over twenty years, Nicky Schrire and Ariella Caira reunite for a special, intimate duo performance after concerts that have seen them collaborate with composer Matthijs van Dijk, Prime Circle drummer Kevin Gibson, and double-bill with Beatenberg frontman Matthew Field. The two recorded and released the EP "An Education" on London label Wild Sound Recordings in 2015, followed by performances at the Cape Town Folk and Acoustic Music Festival, Milk & Honey Festival, Cafe Roux, Youngblood Gallery and an appearance on SABC's Expresso Show.
“A number of the more and most intelligent female vocalists come to mind-Mia Doi Todd, Tori Amos, Kimiko Itoh, Lorraine Feather, Norma Winstone, Joan Baez, Joni Mitchell, etc. - in Schrire's work.” — FAME (USA) "Wonderful....an acute eye for observation of the small details." — Alex Gallagher, Folk Radio (UK) “A remarkable talent... Her voice is a bell, a curve of pliant sound, a personality, a vessel for great songs. ”
