The Black Feathers

This collaboration between the Friends of the Opera House and Occasional Concerts features this dynamic duo from Wales. Beautiful harmonies, great lyrics and guitar playing make the Black Feathers a special event for the Opera House.

We are so excited to collaborate with Occasional Concerts (Mary Trerice and Karl Bissex). This concert is guaranteed to sell out so get your tickets early!

Americana, Folk, and Acoustic Indie Rock sensibilities coexist comfortably in their musical world, with Hughes’ guitar work buoying the kind of harmonies often only heard in family bands. Their music quickly draws the interest of listeners, but it is the stage chemistry that will keep them riveted.

The ability to write songs that are both modern and ancient is a rare thing. The product of an arcane art of weaving in traditional influences so thoroughly that they become the warp and weft of fresh creations.

The Black Feathers, made up of Ray Hughes and Sian Chandler, are two such talents. They first became aware of the magic between them while collaborating on several musical projects, becoming The Black Feathers and life partners in 2012
