Sound of the Sirens

'Sound Of The Sirens' are a foot stomping, tear jerking, crowd engaging female folk/rock duo whose strengths lie in their passion, conviction and chemistry.

The singer-songwriting duo based in Exeter, Devon, comprising of Abbe Martin & Hannah Wood have honed their craft over the past decade, cementing themselves as firm favourites as “one of the UK’s finest folk acts” not only on the Westcountry scene, but nationally, and internationally too.

Two of the hardest working musicians on the scene, they wear their hearts very much on their sleeves in terms of their songwriting, their songs dovetailing beautifully from beautiful, emotive ballads, to up-beat, foot stomping, hands in the air, sing-along anthems.

The pair glide gracefully through laments of past relationships, and life experiences, as well as highlighting the important topics of the day, namely mental health awareness, and homelessness.

Without being pigeonholed into any stereotypical genre, the instrumentation of the band is vast, and varied. Martin (stage right) plays acoustic and high-strung (Nashville tuning) guitar, mandolin, and bass drum, while partner in crime Wood (stage left) plays acoustic and electric guitar, tambourine, snare drum, and the piano.
