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
