"Stumbling aimlessly around the site, a wonderful sound greets my ears, it's that of a bassoon and cello joined in rich bass-clef harmony. The Moulettes are a five-piece cut to four as the double-bassist has gone awol. Their folk-swing is a wonderful pick-me-up. The vocals of the two female vocalists - one the cellist, the other switching effortlessly between bassoon, autoharp, and kazoo - go together like Morecambe & Wise or strawberries and cream. They're not on the published programme, so we feel incredibly lucky to have chanced across them. "I am feeling an edge," claims the cellist, before taking a swig from a two-litre bottle of something that might be orange juice."

"Luckily Club Dada is running slightly late, so we haven't missed too much of The Moulettes, who we promised we'd go and see yesterday. Those of you who've seen the enchanting electro-posters Modernaire play live (and if you haven't, you absolutely must) will doubtless recognise both Hannah Miller (playing an impressively shiny white cello) and Ruth Skipper (taking on instruments including the autoharp and bassoon) onstage. Whilst stylistically The Moulettes couldn't be more different from Modernaire, both Miller and Skipper's vocal colour and wit, as well as their unparalleled chemistry, is also evident in the band's dramatic folk output."
