MUSIC LADYHAWKE @ THE CLUNY

Words: Matt Young www.ladyhawkemusic.com

New Zealand singer-songwriter Ladyhawke will grace The Cluny stage on Wednesday 28th June as part of their Summer UK tour. Known for delivering an infectious blend of indie pop and electro-rock, Ladyhawke, aka Pip Brown, has been a fixture on the international music scene since the release of her debut self-titled album in 2008, and with a further three albums since then, including 2021’s Time Flies, she’s been through a fair bit of ‘stuff’ regarding her physical and mental health.

Themes of depression and motherhood feature on her latest work; recent single Mixed Emotions provides some musical clues as she’s been able to transform this admittedly tough time into art and thankfully reach a new dawn to showcase Ladyhawke live and in a relatively intimate setting like The Cluny.

The full discography will be on offer, so hits like Paris Is Burning, My Delirium, and stomping Broods collab Guilty Love should get a very welcome airing, and fans know how dynamic Brown can be as a stage presence. The probability of funky dance-rock shimmering throughout the Ouseburn Valley is very high. Tickets will undoubtedly sell quickly so make sure you reserve your place in the crowd and then dig out your heavy eyeliner and dancing gear to help get the party started.

Ladyhawke plays The Cluny, Newcastle on Wednesday 28th June.
