About Acoustic Cafe Night at the Granary: Miriam Erasmus
Let’s welcome the fantastic Miriam Erasmus formerly Miriam Backhouse)all the way from South Africa to AcousticCafeNights@theGranary
Her songs are wonderful with a few you can join in with but just listening is a tonic to the soul.
Entry includes filter coffee/tea &homebaking.
Mim's roots go back to the UK Folk Scene of the 70s when she was likened to Joan Baez, and ranked alongside Maddy Prior and other revivalists of the time. She has a crystal clear expressive voice and plays the guitar with great sensitivity, arranging each song according to its theme.
Her own songs written in her hometown in South Africa, have become part of the musical heritage there. ‘The beautiful pass at Van Reenen’, ‘Over Africa’ and her ‘protest’ songs about the border war ‘I don’t want my child to die’ and ‘Mother’s lament’ have been recognised as some of the best of the genre. Her vibrant warm personality makes any concert a joy to be part of.
A unique voice, a talented musician, and an appealing personality.
GEOFF SARGIESON, Radio Sheffield.
“Together with a professional approach to audiences, Miriam’s haunting voice and tasteful instrumental work never fail to impress”. John Leonard. Smooth Operations. Producer of Radio 2 Mike Harding Show
