This is the last of Mary Hampton's shows at Cafe Oto for a while. She will be on with her band, also Dublin's magnificent Caoimhin O'Raghallaigh and his extraordinary fiddle music from the other land, and bewitching cora and banjo duo The Hand who met working on the ferries in Bristol.

"songs, which recline with shimmering sensuality in various shady cloaks of weirdness...fragility, desolation and humour...scurrying around Dartmoor under cover of darkness." (Colin Irwin, Telegraph, 26/04/08)

"her bizarre flights of fancy are the dreams of children, far more unsettling for an adult.....evoking Eliot’s Wasteland in it’s beautiful bleakness". (Wyl Menmuir, Fly, June 08)
