I first came to the Isle of Skye as a teenager in a precarious tangle of circumstances; on the surface, an interpreter for the Moscow Chamber Orchestra on tour. An elderly lady called Una MacLeod treated me with kindness. Years later, I came back, no longer harassed and threatened, having found my true voice and my place in the world. Una was still there in her cottage, and this time round, she gave me a very special gift... Her mother's song.

Michell, Pfeiffer & Kulesh at Better World Festival in Stoke-on-Trent ('May Colven') and Moseley Folk & Arts Festival in Birmingham ('Bella Ciao' and 'Those Were The Days') Michell, Pfeiffer & Kulesh are an all-female close harmony folk trio that brings together the exciting talents and exquisite voices of award-winning songwriters Odette Michell (England), Karen Pfeiffer (Germany) and Daria Kulesh (Russia). Their stunning three-part vocal harmonies bring to life spellbinding folk tales, expertly woven together with an international twist - a project that would never transpired had it not been for the lockdowns, when three of the busiest female performers on the folk scene found themselves somewhat less occupied than before. Introducing Stage winners at The Great British Folk Festival 2023 by public vote, they wow their audiences with a deeply moving, exciting and unique live show. Described as "tremendous" (Mike Harding), "exquisite" (Folking.com), "entrancing" (FATEA), it is a unique cross-cultural, multilingual collaboration, turning familiar folk tunes into something fresh and powerful. In 2023 and 2024 (tbc) Michell, Pfeiffer & Kulesh are delighted to be invited to perform at festivals like Moseley Folk & Arts Festival, Gate to Southwell Festival, Beardy Folk Festival, Moira Furnace Folk Festival and Folk on the Farm to name but a few. www.paulwalkermusic.co.uk/michell-pfeiffer-kulesh www.facebook.com/michellpfeifferkulesh https://dariakulesh.bandcamp.com/album/flowers-ep #singersongwriter #folk #international

We made a few live videos in the studio whilst recording my album and this one is ‘Gold Dirt’. It’s about the gold you get when your digging your way out of a bad situation. I find having to dig deep gets me in touch with strengths I didn’t know I had. A lot of this new album is about whether hard times are essential for helping you find the gold or if they are just hard and making the best out of it is the best you can do.
