Sharon King and the Nevernever Cowboys

A spinner of confessional tales and a troubadour in the truest sense, Sharon King excels as a live performer. Supported by her hypnotic, rock-steady acoustic guitar, her endearingly candid dry humour creates a relaxed intimacy with the crowd. The launch of 'Reckless Angels' will be followed by Sharon touring, both as a solo performer and with the Reckless Angels, drawn from a pool of players including; Sarah McFadyen - fiddle, banjo and backing vocals (Harem Scarem); Laura Beth Salter - mandolin and backing vocals (The Shee); Joel Sanderson - cello, double bass and backing vocals (Toxic Cowboys); Luke Plumb - mandolin and guitar (Shooglenifty); ; Angus Grant - fiddle (Shooglenifty);Vera van Heeringen - mandolin, guitar and backing vocals (New Rope String Band).
