Candlelight session with charming blues & folk artist ‘Tangles’ at The Crooked Crow in Leighton Buzzard
The popular ‘Candlelight Sessions’ return to Leighton Buzzard on Thursday 12th of March and we’re delighted to welcome back blues and folk singer songwriter ‘Tangles’. Her amazing performance in April last year just blew us away! This show will be a magical musical evening with wine (or beer) and cheeseboards available!
Tangles started writing songs in a quiet solitude from the age of 11 until her late teens. Her first musical dabbling’s were with Metal and Punk, she then discovered Acoustic Delta Blues and Open Tunings used by artists such as the late Nick Drake to develop her unique sound. Tangles, a Suffolk girl, started busking from the age of eighteen and since then has made a name for herself around the Norwich area and becoming a regular on the local music scene.
Tangles has been in many different bands and musical incarnations and loves doing what she does. She has been quite prolific with her song writing and some are now recorded in the studio and available on line at Bandcamp including ‘Smiling Skank’, ‘Sweatwash’ and her EP ‘Khaos 23’. Her shows mostly consist of her original music, but she does include the occasional cover as ‘a crowd pleaser’! Her latest project (which won’t feature) is teaming up with Tenja Stevens for a Reggae Dub Folk Collaboration with the first album ‘Blue Light’ out soon.
Once Tangles was described by a music critic as having ‘a voice that could belong to a wood-fairy - sweet, beautiful, and utterly captivating. One listen, and you might find yourself slipping into a nature-inspired trance.’ She has also played several festivals including ‘Small World’ in Kent and the Noisily Festival in Leicestershire and her first was Harlequin Fayre near Norwich back in 2019. She ventured abroad in 2025 with a show in Morocco!
Whilst many songs are more serious like ‘The Getaway Tune’ composed in her early busking days, others such as her superb 'Symphony to The Worms', is a song about making compost - possibly a subject that only creative Tangles could sing about!
Tickets for the show are available on The Crooked Crow Bar website at https://www.crookedcrowbar.com/. Doors open at 7:30pm with Tangles on stage from around 8.25pm.
