Ada Alma and Frieda Freytag are SAMUEL, a Dublin-based, female, multi-instrumentalist duo.
Deeply narrative and cinematic, their evocative music, using vocals, piano, acoustic and electric cello, clarinet, melodica, double bass and cajon, is a striking fusion of classical-tinged acoustic instrumentation and layers of electronic soundscapes.
They are joined by the incredible Rob Campbell on cello and double bass to celebrate the release of their first album, Oh Boy. Both Vinyls and CDs will be available for sale on the night, so will be a complementary glass of wine or non-alcoholic beverage during the interval.
