The Staves
A Lumia Live Session hosted by Nokia Music

That was where I first saw The Staves and for me it was an epiphany. Framed by the enormous stained glass windows of the church, the three sisters; Emily, Jessica and Camilla’s enchanting harmonies gently lulled the audience into silence. The Staves were alluring, the audience mesmerised. That was then, a perfect start to Port Eliot Festival 2012.

I don’t know if those angelic voices brought tears from heaven, I’m spiritual but not a religious man. Basically it pissed down and we all ran for cover. Taking shelter under a couple of gazebos we were entertained by The Staves as they sang their beautiful songs from the hidden hut’s kitchen.
Later they joined us under the gazebos and to much drunken heckling sang for us some more. It was a wonderful experience.
