CHARM OF FINCHES
International Music Venue 23rd February 2026
First visit to the International Music The International Music Venue for a while, last night to see CHARM OF FINCHES.
They are Australian sisters, i believe now resident in the uk and touring to promote the single and album.
They concentrate on their own songs but include an excellent cover of "Army Dreamers" by Kate Bush.
Both sing well and harmonise well. Mabel plays guitar while Ivy plays keyboard and on some songs, violin. The overall sound is gentle and pastoral but for me lacks any real spark or depth, bordering at times on twee. On the other hand in some songs later in the set the playing got more robust and sparky and were very enjoyable.
Overall an enjoyable, if not exciting evening
Keep music live... keep music real... support your local venues
