Five strong women, five outstanding singing talents, five best friends.

Chris While, Miranda Sykes, Helen Watson, Melanie Harrold, Julie Matthews are Daphne’s Flight – an exceptional force in British music.

Individually, the ladies are among the UK’s most-loved and respected artists, but when they join forces on stage something magical happens. Together they empower audiences of all ages, producing music that is relatable, moving and uplifting with contagious on-stage chemistry.

The music of Daphne’s Flight is a magical layering of sensitivity, beauty, experience and empowerment. Their songs are thought provoking, uplifting, empowering and relatable. They continue to inspire audiences with the warmth, energy and sheer joy they bring to their performances. They are, quite simply, a force to be reckoned with.

Some of the written response on Daphne’s Flight website after their sensational appearance at Cropredy Festival August 2019:

Daphne’s Flight, the highlight of the whole weekend. You took me to church with your heavenly vocals – Steve

You were BRILLIANT! We saw you at Cropredy. A breath of fresh air and totally inspirational! You brought laughter and tears. I/we

My wife Petra and I heard you at Cropredy yesterday. You ladies rose the spirits of the earth and moved the rolling sky! Pure heartfelt
beauty, a delight to listen to you. We didn’t know about you before, grasped all 3 of your records and will purchase the new one when
it‘s released. Please let us know! Bless you! – Michael

ART31

ART31 takes its name from Article 31 of the UN Convention on the Rights of a Child, which states that ‘Children have the right to relax and play, and to join in a wide range of cultural, artistic and other recreational activities’.

ART31 is a vision created with, by, and for young people in Kent, championing the belief that all children and young people have an entitlement to access high quality arts and culture, to empower them to achieve their creative potential, and to genuinely engage young people as equal partners in any decision making that affects them.

The ART31 Youth Board is made up of young people from across Kent aged 13-25 who steer its governance, and influence policy and practice across the county and beyond, challenging the creative sector to examine existing ways of working and integrate young people into the core of their practice.
