Daisy Chapman lived in Bristol for 20 years before heading out to Wiltshire with her young family. Having spent her 20s and 30s trudging the venue circuit Bristol has to offer, she’s thrilled to be coming back to present her new album ‘She Took Flight’ with violinist Sue Lord. Daisy plays piano and sings along with her loop station which provides subtle harmonies in the chorus, a sound that is now so familiar, but Daisy’s style is subtle and unobtrusive. Sue Lord is a very experienced violinist who offers subtly weaved countermelodies, knitting them in and out of the vocal lines, presenting a sonic harmony not usually obtained by a singer songwriter on their own.
Daisy's music may be dark, beautiful, filmic, but the evening her and Sue present is far from gloomy. The tales behind each song are told in an animated and comedic way - whether it's the true story of a girl trapped up a tower in the 1800s, or a nod to women of the world who's work was credited to men, an evening with Daisy and Sue proves as moving as it is educational. Daisy's draws influence from history, nature or interesting facts. Having spent most of the 20teens touring the world with prog rock outfit Crippled Black Phoenix as their pianist and backing vocalist, Daisy is stripping it back for the Folk House - one of the first venues she ever played in Bristol back in 2004.
