You Are Wolf aka Kerry Andrew: Women Make Music
‘Bird-lore’ (working title), will be a set of new songs to be performed live by You Are Wolf. The songs, written by Kerry Andrew AKA You Are Wolf, will comprise a mix of reinventions of traditional British songs and original material exploring the folklore of British birds via vocals, loop station, electronics, assorted small instruments and bass guitar. The set would bring together old forms, new technology and a very modern approach.
Performances will take place nationally from the summer of 2012.
