Talis Kimberley SAM

Talis Kimberley – singer, songwriter, domestic goddess or ex-mermaid?

Well, if you listen to her sing and play, you’ll realise that she is actually all of these things, as well as many more besides.

Equally at home with guitar, bouzouki or harp, Talis’ songs interweave the everyday with the magical. She can address the big political picture or show a tiny scenario with the skill of a Tudor miniature painter.

She has sung since she was young, but it was in the filk community that she found her first audiences and developed her songwriting. She guested at the 1994 British Filk Con, VIbraphone, and has gone on to visit and sing in Germany, America and Canada in the years since. Whether at a convention, public event or private party, Talis welcomes every occasion to perform her music and make new friends.

She has published several independent recordings under the “Tarot Moon” imprint, and in 2000 produced Archetype Café in conjunction with Marchwood Media, to critical acclaim from both the filk and mainstream press. She is currently working on her new album, The Hearth and The Hive which will be released early in 2010. In between her busy recording schedule, Talis is out performing all over the place, and is especially looking forwards to guesting at DucKon 19 in June 2010!
