Val Ockert is a consummate songwriter with a unique style that is both highly original, yet accessible in it's strong connection with traditional folk and Celtic music and his powerful, evocative lyrics. Val is currently ‘road testing’ a whole new bunch of his finely crafted and deeply poetic contemporary folk songs written during the Covid lockdowns. Tracey adds sumptuous harmonies and melodic keyboard lines. The catchy and accessible lyrics have depth and insight and there’s an olde worlde charm to their musical style. Very good listening! They have released a most enjoyable cd and appeared at ‘Splendour in the Grass’.
The Charango is a Bolivian instrument, traditionally made out of armadillo shell. Today it’s more common to find them carved out of jacaranda wood with an ebony fretboard. What it lacks in size, it more than makes up for in sound, with a powerful projection that’s similar in tone to a classic guitar or mandolin.
