Suzy Mangion is one of those performers music critics rave about,
but not enough people have heard of; just look at the reviews below.
Luckily, Urban & Eastern have heard of Suzy and will bring her to the Star and Shadow Cinema, where she’ll curate an evening of two things she is passionate about: music and avant-garde film.
About Suzy Mangion...
Starting from a Durham cupboard containing only a piano and a drumkit, Suzy began her public music-making in 1994 as one half of duo George, who released a number of acclaimed secret pop records on Earworm, Bad Jazz and Pickled Egg Records.
Suzy’s songs explore many styles, but are always unified by her trademark haunting vocals and complex harmonies. She experiements with electronics, old and new, mixed with a bricolage of beats, banjos and beat-up pianos.
In addition to her solo work, Suzy is one half of gentle duo THE WINTER JOURNEY, and a member of Spanish electronica act ARBOL. She has also collaborated with Piano Magic, Big Eyes Family Players’, and on the new James Yorkston and the Athletes album.
