Wales singer to perform in Vietnam
Vov/Hanoitimes 14:28, 2014/06/20
The Welsh harpist, singer-songwriter Georgia Ruth and her band will play in Ho Chi Minh City on July 1.

Georgia Ruth’s exquisite songs which are “full of longing and melody” and her angelic serene voice will chill out the boiling hot midsummer weather in Vietnam.

“Week of Pines”, George Ruth’s debut album was out barely a year ago in May 2013 and immediately received enthusiastic praise from critics, hailing the album for its “mixture of soft pop and reimagined traditionals.” It was commended by The Independent as “a dazzling debut, rich with sweet pain and joy” and Georgia Ruth is named “one of the British folk discoveries of the year” by The Guardian.

Inspired by Georgia Ruth’s recent return to Wales, following stints living in Brighton and London, Week of Pinesis unique in the way it represents the homecoming spirit through a “varied and intriguing collection of songs.”

This was beautifully described on the website of the Arts Council of Wales, “from the motorik drive of the title track, to the darker Eno-like string arrangements, the stark joyfulness of a Welsh sea shanty accompanied by wheezing reed organ, or the more wistful folk ballads: this is a varied and intriguing collection of songs.
