Elaine with Gavin, Annie, Mike and Alan play as the completely live, electrifying live band, “Kindred Spirit”; featuring Elaine’s beautiful vocals, powerful songs and guitar playing, Gavin's incredible violin playing, Annie’s brilliant flute & sax playing, Mike’s driving bass guitar and Alan’s expert drumming. Kindred Spirit, the band,are renowned for their powerful, original, contemporary folk / rock numbers, often mystical in nature; like “Green Man” and “Morrigan” as well as stunning takes on some classic tracks including Eagles, Kinks, Pink Floyd, Rolling Stones, Corrs and Fleetwood Mac numbers. They will take your breath away with an incredible version of Bob Dylan’s, “All Along The Watchtower”. The stunning nature of the treatment of these tracks is due to the “hauntingly beautiful and deeply emotional” voice of Elaine enhanced by the extraordinary flute playing of Annie Parker in combination with the phenomenal violin playing of Gavin Jones.
Other special features of the Kindred Spirit band are their lovely harmonies and the musical interplay between lead instrumentalists Gavin and Annie. Not only do they produce beautiful solos and foot stomping jigs and reels but they are both superb at on the spot improvisations and fly into thrilling musical duels live on stage.
Kindred Spirit have been performing at clubs and festivals, including Glastonbury and Guildford, since the '90s. In 2006 the band performed a special concert at the famous Cavern Club in Liverpool, where they met John Lennon's sister, Julia, who came backstage after their performance to compliment them.
