Waking The Witch
I'm not sure if all of Waking The Witch have played
Cambridge in one guise or another
have played Cambridge before, certainly some have. I think
Rachel Goodwin still holds the record for the biggest sales and signing session for an
unbooked act in the Club Tent. Leaving that aside, Waking The Witch
are making their festival debut and it should be something to
behold.
Waking The Witch are now two albums to the good and making some
real waves in the Leeds area where they're based, but the ripples are
really starting to be felt in large number of places across the
UK.
The formula appears to be reasonably simple. Take four singer/songwriters with great voices and
who know their way around a guitar and put them into what used to be known as a
supergroup.
It all works so well because the girls give
each other enough space to be themselves, working as a unit but with distinct
roles and sounds on each of the songs. The result is something that little bit
special.
Waking The Witch are playing in the Club Tent, but
should hopefully get a decent audience. If talent was an audience, the tent would
be bursting at the seams.
