MULTI-talented singer-songwriter duo Abbe Martin and Hannah Wood, otherwise known as Sound of the Sirens, will be performing in Llandrindod Wells next year.

Sound of the Sirens will be performing at Pavilion Mid Wales on Friday, May 27, 2022, as part of their ‘Damage Control’ tour in support of their upcoming album release of the same name.

Abbe and Hannah are based in Exeter. Honing their craft over the past decade, they have cemented themselves as firm favourites not only on the Westcountry scene, but nationally, and internationally too. Their status, and fast-growing fanbase is not only testament to the pair’s prowess as songwriters and musicians, but as people too.

They are two of the hardest-working musicians on the scene and wear their hearts on their sleeves in terms of their songwriting. The pair glide gracefully through laments of past relationships, and life experiences, as well as highlighting the important topics of the day, namely mental health awareness and homelessness.

The instrumentation of the band is vast and varied. Abbe plays acoustic and high-strung (Nashville tuning) guitar, mandolin and bass drum, while partner in crime Hannah plays acoustic and electric guitar, tambourine, snare drum and the piano. The pair’s musical and vocal dexterity dovetail beautifully on the co-written songs, which range from beautiful, emotive ballads, to upbeat, foot-stomping, hands in the air, sing-along anthems. The dynamic duo and their musical creations translate very well onto recorded media, but it is in the live arena where the girls truly excel. There is a certain majesty about their live performances that simply cannot be put into words. It is this “je ne sais quoi” that keeps their loyal fans returning from far and wide to see these two perform.

Damage Control, now to be released in March 2022, is a collection of unique and contrasting songs that were born over 2019-2020, produced by Saul Davies from James. The songs take you on an emotional journey through reflection, love, loss, disappointment, anger, excitement hope and many more, with each song purposefully capturing a different emotion.

This album captures a sound that Sound of the Sirens have been hoping to achieve for many years, and Davies has managed to help them create this.
