Dark Pearls: Christine Kydd
Christine Kydd (vocals, guitar); Lorraine Jordan (backing vocals, bouzouki, djembe, cabasa)
Christine Kydd with Lorraine Jordan, a perfect context in which to hear Christine’s powerful performances. Dark Pearls is a very natural and creative musical combination highlighting songs from Christine’s solo repertoire. The songs are big ballads and songs from the Lowland Tradition, and a sprinkling are from contemporary writers in the old idiom. Christine’s singing combined with Lorraine’s sensitive and vibrant work is by turns energetic and fun, compelling and emotive.
Christine Kydd is one of Scotland’s great singers. A renowned interpreter and champion of the Scots song tradition, she has performed and recorded with others to produce some of Scotland’s finest and often award-winning harmony vocal sounds.
