Mad Agnes

27th February 2010 at 8pm at Lowdham Village Hall

When Mad Agnes played for us in 2008, we were undeniably disappointed with audience numbers. Yet such was the impact they had on us and all that saw them that within 24 hours we had booked them to return. There really is nobody else like them.

Mad Agnes is not one person, but three, and they're mad in only the most inventive way. Margo Hennebach, Adrienne Jones and Mark Saunders stir up elements of classical and folk, cross singer/songwriter poignancy with street-theatre smarts and infuse it all with courageous harmonies, complex counterpoint and rich storytelling in a powerful live performance. Their lyrics are intelligent, their delivery warm, and insightful. Not surprisingly, each has arrived at the trio from a long list of solo accomplishments.

The music of classically trained Hennebach has been described as “contemporary and timeless” and “captivating” . A finalist in songwriting competitions, including Kerrville and Napa Valley, Margo has a BM in Piano from Oberlin Conservatory and a masters degree in Music Therapy from the Guildhall School of Music in London. Jones is a self-taught fingerstyle & rhythm guitarist and bassist and a finalist in four national songwriting competitions. Mad Agnes also features Hartford Conservatory graduate Saunders on vocals, acoustic, electric, National steel and bass guitars.
They've been called genre-bending -- with classical, rock and old-world backgrounds they play everything from contemporary original to madrigals, to Celtic traditionals, to harmony-driven folk pop.

"When I first heard Mad Agnes I knew instantly these were special people with a special act. Musically, emotionally and spiritually they ticked all the right boxes. When I finally got to meet them, my suspicions were confirmed. They are lovely people making lovely music that reaches out and grabs you."
Simon Nicol - Fairport Convention, Chipping Norton '07
