"…a delightful duo who not only inspire one another but put an indelible smile on the faces of their audiences. Strong harmonies, side-splitting stories and ballads brought to life in a way we hadn't seen before. Heartily recommended." - Nancy Kerr and James Fagan
Rebecca's Coming Too
Youtube Video filmed at the national Folk Festival in 2008. Cloustreet with cellist Rebecca Wright.
John and Nic have raved about cellist Rebecca Wright in the past, and she's recorded with them on three albums now, and so they're very excited that she's going to be hitting the road with them in late April in OZ and travelling to the UK in May to join them for their 2008 tour. She'll be adding 'cello and vocals and her own special magic.
Two lovely, exuberant people who entertain right royally with their
clever vocal harmonies, well chosen songs (trad, contemporary and self-penned),
guitar and flute. They were over here in the UK for over a year from 03 to 04,
building up an audience by playing playing playing - and it worked out well.
They created a real buzz which continues to grow through their '05, '06 and '07 tours. Venues want them back straight away and audiences follow them round. Their 2007 tour was jam packed. Their summer 2008 tour is booking now.
"One of the highlights of the weekend and I would recommend to any festival to book them." -(Ken Bradburn, Brampton Live
John and Nicole are both superb singers, technically and emotionally, both solo and in delightful and beautifully considered harmony. They play guitar, flute and concertina and though they play them all exceedigly well - the instruments are there to support and punctuate the songs and never stand between the artists and the audience. The communication is the thing!
"Cloudstreet's sense of fun, fabulous arrangements and well-matched, gorgeous voices add up to a great night's entertainment. They include a touch of theatricality - without overdoing it - to turn their carefully-chosen material into a performance which totally absorbs their audience." - Tudor Folk
"CLOUDSTREET: Nicole Murray and John Thompson came, sang and conquered with twinkling smiles in their eyes and lots of ambitious music in their hearts. I have loads of respect for Cloudstreet; both of these Australians have luscious, superb voices, so beautifully controlled at the drop of a hat – but when they mean business, those magnificent voices soar and swell and fly away. That’s not clapping you hear, but the collective sound of jaws dropping. Nicole plays a neat flute and John’s no mean guitarist, but the most satisfying and pleasing aspect is that both are such thoroughly nice people. Not only that, but Cloudstreet keep the crowd very, very happy with good deal of imaginative, well-thought-out and original takes on well-known folk songs. You go to a Cloudstreet gig and it feels as though the clouds have lifted and the sun’s shining again – that’s the effect they have on you!" - Mick Tems, Cefyddydau Mari Arts, June 2006

Schools and Festival Workshops
Cloudstreet are also available for schools workshops and come with the highest endorsements from UK schools which have already sampled their talents. Nicole is a trained teacher in addition to being a visual artist and a musician and her talents are used to the full in combination with John's hugely entertaining delivery. The pic on the left shows John and Nic working on the main stage at Birdsedge village Festival where a group of children who had enjoyed their workshop in school time had come to perform.
