Live Music in the Theatre at Horse + Bamboo from Monique Clare + Good Habits
Monique Clare
“…A wonderfully organic take on pop – you can feel the thumbprint of her work all over this track” – Dave Ruby Howe, Triple J Unearthed
“The song rises and falls, builds intensity and gives way to pensive delicacy in such a satisfying way.” – Jerry Ijale Agbinya, Triple J Unearthed
Wielding a cello and strikingly crafted vocals, Monique Clare delivers indie-folk laced with chamber pop. Driving rhythms collide with intricate cello lines; heart-tugging harmonies are woven through compelling vocals. Her lyrics speak to the ruminations of her generation and dive deep into the universal experiences of love and loss.
She draws listeners into her storytelling, sifting through the raw, the imperfect and the unspoken. Always seeking connection, she craves the rush of an intimately honest performance.
Good Habits
Horse + Bamboo are welcoming back Good Habits, after their first show here – supporting Jeremiah Ferrari at Waterfoot Wakes 2023.
One of the most exciting new folk duos to come out of the UK, Good Habits’ award winning, genre-fusing sound has received international critical acclaim in the short 3 years they have been performing.
Composed of Bonnie Schwarz (cello + vocals) and Pete Shaw (accordion), the pair mix virtuosic musicianship and vocal harmony with vivid storytelling, drawing on their diverse musical tastes and weaving them into an action-packed narrative of folky goodness. After a pandemic spent happily stranded in New Zealand, they arrived back in the UK to spread their joyous music throughout Europe.
