CARA ELIN
Cara Elin, a whimsical whirlwind from South Wales. Through her songs, she brings to life the darkest tales of the Mabinogion, painting pictures of misty mountain tops and tylwyth teg.
​
“A powerful presence in her stillness, with a focus on embodying and conveying the story of each song.” - Pete Wareham
"Cara impressed the audience immediately, with her melodic and accomplished jazzy singing style, backed up by her delicate and rhythmic finger-work on resonator guitar. Her tasteful choice of cover versions blended well with her own compositions, in which intelligent lyrics combine impressively with musical influences from folk to jazz. Her guitar style worked particularly effectively on a delicate version of Radiohead’s ‘No Surprises’, which channeled the quiet melancholy of the original perfectly. She handled the audience with great self-assurance, and we’ll definitely look forward to seeing more of her in the future."
