On Monday evening I had the pleasure of seeing The Siren Sisters bring some 1940s glamour to the Wales Millennium Centre. Everything was perfectly period from the wartime hits to the costumes and even their hair. It was wonderful to see a large crowd enjoying this performance, from reminiscing pensioners to young children dancing gaily to songs they were hearing from the first time.
The Siren Sisters are a close harmony vocal group comprised of actual sisters Sarah and Jo Perryman joined by Helena May Harrison. If you read my review of
Merrily We Roll Along, you'll know that I really love Helena's voice and natural on-stage presence, and the Perryman sisters' also have great, although different, voices, which come together in a perfect combination.
The Siren Sisters have been going from strength to strength in recent years, from festival performances to appearing on S4C, and 2012 looks to be an even bigger year for them, so catch them while you can.
UPDATE: My interview with the Siren Sisters, broadcast on Xpress Culture on 30th January 2012:
