Madredeus

Madredeus is a Portuguese band whose music combines fado influences with modern folk music. The band's founding members were Pedro Ayres Magalhães (Classical guitar), Rodrigo Leão (keyboard synthesizer), Francisco Ribeiro (cello) and Teresa Salgueiro (vocals). Magalhães and Leão formed the band in 1985, Ribeiro joined in 1986. They'd been searching for a female singer, and found Teresa Salgueiro in one of Lisbon's night clubs. Teresa liked their music and agreed to join, so in 1987 Madredeus recorded their first album, Os dias da Madredeus.

Emily Barker

Emily hails from the quiet Blackwood Valley, where lies a town called Bridgetown. It's in the South West of Western Australia. As a teenager she was known to sing heavy metal and soul covers at highschool assemblies (it was a compromise with the bogan boys in the band: she would sing heavy metal, in return for them playing soul. Fair enough she thought.) Emily's love of music spilt beyond her schooling years and across the seas to the UK.
