Sheffield Made by Steel Songbirds
This is the debut album from Sheffield based acapella duo Steel Songbirds.
Steel Songbirds are Emily Eastwood and Marilla Homes - Dug from the soil of Australia and England, forged in Sheffield, tempered in the swimming pool of life and sharpened on the wit of singledom in the folk/pub/archaeology worlds!
T’Internet Dates is the song that brough the duo together. Marilla was singing in the John Birmingham Cup and Emily was cheering her on. At the end of the session, Emily had an idea for a song, and asked if Marilla would like to write it with her ... cue much giggling and a surprisingly easy musical partnership.
"We would like to thank everyone who made this album possible - Brian Bedford, for his patience and advice with the recording, Piers Cawley for giving us our first gig, along with Gill Cawley, John Thompson, Rebecca (Bex) Neale, Alec Thompson, Chris While, Sally Ironmonger and Brian Carter for allowing us to record their wonderful songs.
Last but not least, we would like to thank our families for everything they have done, and continue to do.
Much love, Em and M."
