Tapping on monoliths after the rain. The breeze, the sound waves that ripple upon the shores of acoustic beauty… musical creations that warm your soul

WELCOME TO THE IDOLINS. Karen Smalley-Turner and Claudine West met while playing acoustic music at an ‘open mic night’ in Nottingham, U.K. Then life, death and fate, took its course.. The creation of acoustic, folk, pop female duo. The Idolins. Karen the principle songwriter, vocalist and guitarist. Claudine a multi-instrumentalist. Both women produce and perform the songs in a relaxed environment, where ideas are explored and laughter is adored. That’s when the magic comes. The combination of raw talent, a great friendship, acoustic beauty in music, story telling and hypnotic energy, creative freedom, honesty, with an underground that echoes pop. Makes this emerging recorded act a vital vibration for your soul and makes a great live act worth watching. Common appreciation of great music, songwriting and that famous twist of fate brought this talented duo together….. What The Idolins create continues, feels, becomes, builds to a vibrant world upon a horizon of electric blue. Running its blessed fingers through oceans of soundwaves, metal strings, tones, harmonies, skin, melodies, ivory, Feeling it within you… Tapping on monoliths after the rain. A breeze that wakes up a mind state, that sometimes feels a little down with what life sometimes brings. A giver and creater of hope after hurt, a harbinger of choices. Lie down look upto the night and listen holding your lover tight. Lie alone at peace with hope. Gazing and never blinking incase you miss a moment, into the most beautiful eyes you have ever seen, urban souls collide with all the love deep within your mind. As the leaves of autumn fall upon the ground, the memories of summer sparkle like glitter in the air…Feeling the butterflies flicker inside when the dawn of beauty, attraction, passion, composition and love of music hits you. If solitude surrounds… You are safe knowing the embers will keep you warm until the sun comes up. As your dawn approaches… Life is Forever Changing..
