Sound of the Sirens are a singer-songwriting duo who have honed their craft over the past decade and will be paying a visit to Reading later this month.
Abbe Martin and Hannah Wood are known as one of the country’s best folk acts, and boast a fast-growing fanbase, such is the acclaim for their prowess as songwriters, musicians and people.
They are also hard working and, with their songs, wear their hearts very much on their sleeves.
The pair glide gracefully through laments of past relationships, and life experiences, as well as highlighting the important topics of the day, namely mental health awareness, and homelessness.
Without being pigeonholed into any stereotypical genre, the instrumentation of the band is vast, and varied.
Martin (stage right) plays acoustic and high-strung (Nashville tuning) guitar, mandolin, and bass drum, while partner in crime Wood (stage left) plays acoustic and electric guitar, tambourine, snare drum, and the piano.

The pairs’ musical and vocal dexterity dovetail on the songs, which range from beautiful, emotive ballads, to up-beat, foot stomping, hands in the air, sing-along anthems.
The dynamic duo and their musical creations translate very well onto recorded media, but it is in the live arena where the pair truly excel. There is a certain majesty about their live performances that simply cannot be put into words.
It is this “je ne sais quoi” that keeps their loyal fans returning from far and wide to see these two perform. So, it is no wonder that Club Velocity and New Mind have teamed up to bring Sound of the Sirens to Reading’s Face Bar.
It is not just nearly two hours of high-quality live music you get for the entrance fee; a Sound of the Sirens show is much more than that. The onstage chemistry, camaraderie, and banter is said to be worth the ticket price alone.
When is Sound of the Sirens coming to Reading and how much are tickets?
The show takes place at The Face Bar in Chatham Street on Sunday, April 27.
Doors open at 7pm and the show starts at 7.30pm. There is no support act.
The venue is open to people aged 14 upwards, but they must be accompanied by an adult to be admitted.
Tickets cost £18.20, and can be bought from: www.wegottickets.com/clubvelocity
