Melbourne sisters Mabel and Ivy Windred-Wornes, Charm of Finches, celebrate the one year anniversary of their stunning debut album “Staring at the Starry Ceiling” in the lush Velvet Room at The Thornbury Theatre.
 Named one of the best releases of 2016 by ABC Radio National, it was produced by Melbourne luminary Nick Huggins and features ten delicate songs about heartbreak, solitude and whispering trees awash with the young duo’s signature angelic sibling harmonies.
The duo, aged 17 and 14, were awarded The 2017 National Folk Festival Gill Rees Young Musicians’ Award in Canberra, and continue to win hearts at music festivals over the country with their unique dreamy folk sound, both delicate and authentic.

“folk purity…affecting and emotional” The Music

Praise for “Staring at the Starry Ceiling”:
“For a duo so young to conjure a full album of music so candid and original as this is astonishing…Charm of Finches sound like they’re mining something far more ancient and universal”

Charm of Finches are sister “dream folk”duo Mabel and Ivy, aged 17 and 14 from Melbourne, Australia, and produce harmony-laden chamber tinged folk for the famished soul. Influences include First Aid Kit, Agnes Obel and Sufjan Stevens.  Two talented young artists/sister duo in an airy, chamber folk style which emphasizes lyrics. Melbourne based dream-folk sister duo Charm Of Finches have had a massive year so far, launching their album “Staring at the Starry Ceiling” and picking up some high profile support slots around the country.

Their debut album “Staring at the Starry Ceiling” features the duo’s signature angelic sibling harmonies, with a distinct chamber-folk flavour coming from the instrumentation: cello, violin, guitar, ukulele, lyre, banjo, piano, glockenspiel: all played by the sisters, now aged 16 and 13.

The “singing finches” have played Australian folk and roots festival stages since releasing their debut EP “Home” in 2016.

Young sister duo Charm Of Finches have just released this gorgeous little composition, a folky mixture of pop and chamber music, with a slight undercurrent of electronic influence.

Mabel and Ivy Windred-Wornes play each and every instrument found on this delightful piece, which was co-produced with Nick Huggins of Two Bright Lakes. Their harmonies are immaculate and stirring as they move through an honest and, well, charming lyric.

Their debut album Staring At The Starry Ceiling will be out on July 29th,

Charm of Finches, aka sisters Mabel and Ivy, aged 16 and 13, emerge from an eclectic musical environment of classical strings and Celtic folk, and have been likened to artists as diverse as Danish chamber songstress Agnes Obel, First Aid Kit and Gillian Welch.

Their debut album “Staring at the Starry Ceiling” features the duo’s signature angelic sibling harmonies, with a distinct chamber-folk flavour coming from the instrumentation: cello, violin, guitar, ukulele, lyre, banjo, piano, glockenspiel: all played by the sisters, now aged 16 and 13.

The “singing finches” have played Australian folk and roots festival stages since releasing their debut EP “Home” in 2016.

Charm of Finches aka dream folk sister duo Mabel and Ivy from Melbourne, Australia, peddle honey-dipped harmonies, gently picked strings. Music to gaze at the stars to.
