This web site is about singer, song-writer and guitar player, Elaine Samuels, who gigs solo and with her Kindred Spirit musicians in mostly duo and five - piece band line ups. Elaine has been performing her own songs in clubs, at festivals and even on television since the early 1990s. She progressed from only playing solo to performing in other line-ups too and her electrifying prog folk rock band provides the fullest expression of her own, powerful material; with her "haunting and beautiful" vocals and rhythm guitar and, from the other band members, harmonies, awesome electric violin or guitar, flute and saxophone playing and driving bass and drums. Elaine is a very versatile performer and person. As a performer, she also plays well known, favourite songs in pubs and care homes and is known for her chatty, friendly personality. She also runs and gets involved with events and special projects and features.

“Elaine has a voice which can be both hauntingly beautiful and deeply emotional…it is her rich repertoire of perceptive, intriguing, self penned songs combined with her guitar work that sets her apart” Rosie Upton, Bath Evening Chronicle
