Voices of angels...and jangly guitars

Lulu

Harriet Wheeler and The Sundays


I saw these first when I lived in the UK in the late 80’s. She had the voice of an angel and this face like a really cute pixie , gorgeous girl. I loved their sound, vaguely reminiscent of Elizabeth Fraser and The Cocteau Twins…who I’d adored forever.
They released their first album in 1992 called ‘Reading, writing and arithmathic’, by which time I was already back living and working in Dublin. I heard it played for the first time before Prince came on stage in Páirc Uí Chaoimh, Corkand I was blown away. I cudn’t believe how fantastic it sounded.
I always thought this group should’ve gone an awful lot further than they did. But after Harriet had children with the guitarist David Gavurin they took a break and never came back.
Pity............. this is The Sundays ~ Joy

Elizabeth Fraser….I think if I could have any voice, I would want hers above all others. To me this woman sounds like heaven should. The vocals of the Scottish band TheCocteauTwins. Most will know her as the female singer Massive Attackchose for their brilliant Teardrop….and a lot of other tracks too. Here she is singing Tim Buckley’s Song for a Siren....around the mid 80's sometime (judging by his hair...ouch lol )

no one in this world plays guitar like Johnny Marr, I love this guys sound.
He was taught to play by Billy Duffy outta the Cult btw. I spent my time
as a teen going to gigs in the S.F.X. hall....I saw theSmiths play 3 dates
in a row there in '84 or '85. Fantastic nights.
