Paper Aeroplanes / Farao @ The Jericho, Oxford

Saturday 25 May 2013, 8:00 pm - 11:00 pm


£8

Paper AeroplanesPaper Aeroplanes is Sarah Howells and Richard Llewellyn. Their musical partnership began six years ago in smalltown West Wales and in 2009 they released their debut album The Day We Ran Into The Sea. The album, with its distinctive sound under Sarah’s beautiful vocals, was described by the BBC’s Adam Walton as “brilliantly crafted and stoked from a bruised heart’s embers”, and BBC Radio Wales as “the finest radio album to come out of Wales since Rockferry”.

Since the album’s release, Paper Aeroplanes have made the Radio 2 playlist and supported acts as varied as Ron Sexsmith, Ed Sheeran, Marina and the Diamonds and Chris Wood, as well as securing a live session with the legendary Bob Harris. Having been compared to the likes of Gemma Hayes, Turin Brakes and Nerina Pallot, this year they released mini-album We Are Ghosts to more critical acclaim and reviews such as “With songs this good, Paper Aeroplanes deserve a far wider audience” – BBC Music’s Robin Denselow; “Album of the Month” – Maverick Magazine.

Farao: “Fingerpicked guitar and hushed, shuffling drums drive the song along whilst Farao’s sweet honey toned vocals brings the bittersweet melancholy.” – Line Of Best Fit
