Mewl Music – “We’ll Find a Voice!”

“We’ll Find a Voice!” – Strong women, Wise Women, Pirates and Crones!

A history in song of women through the centuries.

Pat and Nuala are Cobalt Tales, a powerful female songwriting duo. We are delighted to welcome them back to Seven Arts present their touring show, “We’ll Find a Voice!”, which premiered there in October 2024. The show has since gone on tour the UK, wowing audiences and gaining critical acclaim for its use of stories, poetry, music and songs to examine and celebrate the experiences that have shaped women’s history through the centuries.

Pat has roots in Nova Scotia and Wigan; and is the eldest of ten siblings. Her musical influences derive from the tastes of her family; country and western, classical, soul and rock. Add to this her home-town’s Northern Soul history; and the result is a rich blend of genres evident in Pat’s infectious humour, songwriting and performance.

The eldest of eight, and of Irish roots, Nuala was brought up to the sound of Joan Baez, Leonard Cohen, Mary Black, The Fureys; and her mum singing lullabies and telling tales. Her steady bass rhythms keep things grounded; and her original songs give a voice to stories and people that need to be heard.

Audience comments from the original performance at Seven Arts (October 2024):

“A fantastic weaving of social history, politics, personal stories and testimony.”

“The songs and harmonies were just marvellous.”

“Great musicianship, fantastic original songs, powerful, engaging and political!”
