Danish Music Award nominee Ida Wenøe will bring her dark Scandinavian folk to Penzance next weekend following the UK release of her debut solo album Time Of Ghosts.

When touring the UK last year Ida found support from BBC 6 Music’s Tom Ravenscroft and Gideon

Coe, whilst Clash Magazine described her sound as “bewitching acid folk with a deeply personal edge...” and Paul Lester commented in the Guardian that she “sounds like the young narrator of her own magical-malevolent fantasies.”

While she has an obvious appreciation of Americana, her sound is very definitely laced with more English undertones: the kind of sound Edward Woodward might have heard downstairs in the local inn had the Wicker Man been filmed in a remote Danish village.

Like the best of the Nordic Noir leaving the Danish mainland, the recordings are at once both sonically pure and grimy; there’s a shared loneliness that makes you feel that you’re not at all; and all the while there is an honesty to the songwriting that tugs at your sleeve.

While still fronting the much-feted Boho Dancer, 2014 brought a successful collaboration with Dangers of The Sea, a series of sold out support slots in Denmark with Teitur, and well received shows both in London and at The Great Escape in Brighton.

The music from her debut album has just been picked for Danish TV documentary De Smukke Piger and is the latest nomination for the Danish Music Awards in the Songwriter Of The Year category.

Ida Wenøe will be performing at The Acorn in Penzance on Friday, April 14, and tickets cost £13 or £11 for concessions.
