What the Brontës did at the Fringe - Here & There ( Pauline Vallance & Jacynth Hamill )

The show is an imagining of the Bronte Sisters coping with the chaos of the Edinburgh Fringe. It covers 3 visits – one with the three sisters when they are unknown, the second with Charlotte on her own after her devastating losses, but dealing with celebrity and the third, travelling with her new husband. It features original songs and follows the actual arc of their lives, though in a modern setting.

‘Here and There’  is a Scottish/Irish folk duo, Pauline Vallance & Jacynth Hamill Pauline who hails from Ayrshire in Scotland with family links to Rathfriland, is a multi-talented musician – singer, harpist, flautist and songwriter.  She has several CDs to her credit including “Golden Slumbers” a beautiful selection of soothing lullabies and her most recent, “The World’s a Gift”, a collection of her own songs – about life and those important to us. It was nominated for Scottish Album of the Year and was deemed a ‘Must Listen’ by Folk London.

Jacynth, originally from Coleraine, lives in Belfast and loves to tour around sharing her clear, calming voice with audiences small and large.  She often adds a little dancing to proceedings!

Together they can be heard on “Red Winged Blackbird” – the final CD of “Caim”, the group they previously were in.  On it there’s a flavour of what they do – traditional Irish and Scottish songs, covers and their own compositions.
Their gigs reflect this mix,  whether concerts, folk clubs, care homes or conferences.  Solo and harmony singing, lively or soothing instrumentals, story and dance –  for some great craic come and enjoy “Here and There”.
