DOMINIE HOOPER + MA POLAINE'S GREAT DECLINE - LIVE AT THE SOUNDHOUSE

Join us at the Soundhouse for a special evening of live music from Dominie Hooper and Ma Polaine.

Born on Dartmoor, Dominie Hooper, the DIY multi-instrumentalist is a singular force - her voice is strikingly powerful, her songwriting rugged and dramatic, all propelled by her cello. Think the brooding swagger of 'I Want To See The Bright Lights Tonight', the raw intensity of Magnolia Electric Co. and the harrowing energy of PJ Harvey & John Parish.

With influences in blues, jazz and country Ma Polaine have drawn comparisons with many, with references to Billie Holiday, Tom Waits and a "moody Mary Margaret O'Hara", yet Ma Polaine's sound is very much their own. Beth's distinctive, emotive vocals coupled with her evocative lyrics create a compelling mix of abstract tales, dark humour and raw beauty, whilst Clinton's understated guitar style supports with rich chords and gritty riffs.
