Clara Pople live at Folklore, Hoxton

Clara Pople is a Cumbria-born singer whose music blends neo-Celtic melodies with trip pop. This London concert presents the act's recent EP material at Folklore Hoxton.

Clara Pople is a singer from Cumbria with Scottish roots and classical vocal training. Their sound combines electronic trip hop drum patterns, guitar with a grungy edge, harp and layered, choir-like vocal harmonies. Critics have compared the voice to London Grammar, Massive Attack and Florence and The Machine. Early support came from BBC Introducing and BBC Radio 6, and the track 'The Lark'was named BBC Introducing Cumbria's Track of the Year.

The show focuses on the most recent release, the EP PARYS MOUNTAIN, which opened a wider creative project and was issued alongside a headline UK and Ireland church tour. The EP mixes Celtic-inflected melodies, metallic rhythms and looped vocal textures with alternative pop production, bringing older musical material into a contemporary setting. Clara performs these songs with a band.

The concert takes place at Folklore Hoxton, a venue on Hackney Road in east London that hosts concerts and performances. It suits listeners interested in an artist who draws on folk-rooted melody and modern electronic production, and who has built a following through radio support and a sequence of church performances.
