Ladies Balakai is a musical duo born from the unexpected yet perfect encounter between Fiona Mclaughlin, an English flutist, and Déborah Colucci, a French harpist. It all started simply: Fiona, fresh from across the Channel, found Déborah online, invited her for tea and cake, and the chemistry was instant. From this spark emerged a unique musical universe where neo-classical influences meet the enchanting rhythms of the Balkans, creating vibrant and deeply original compositions.
Ladies Balakai are available throughout France, as well as abroad. We will be performing in the 2025 Gothenburg Fringe Festival, as well as Tunisia.
Our duo is unique and especially suited to those who seek an intimate and special atmosphere. We guarantee our music will be loved by young and old, with moments that both smooth the soul and fill you with energy.
= free travel (up to 55 miles)
We need a space min of 4m x 2m flat surface for the harp to sit on. If we are playing to more than 100 people we recommend 2 power sockets and another 4m of space .
Parking space , 2 chairs (without arms) and a good strong spot light or good lamp.
Please send exact location, and if there are any stairs/ steps to negotiate. If there is a lift is it very narrow?
Can our car access close to the venue so we can carry heavy items inside easily?
What are the acoustics like at the venue and how many people are we performing for?
We can supply our own sound system and lights if necessary but we will have to add costs if we have far to transport them.
No
A private concert in Chambery France , a small but packed audience who were so appreciative and eager to talk and ask us questions afterwards, and our host looked after us providing car parking, a green room, and a wonderful buffet of homemade foods and drinks. The home was perfect acoustically and it was a pleasure to play there.
Small intimate venues, private concerts.
We’ve been doing performing over 20 years in various ensembles, and genres of music. Ladies Balakai is a new venture and just over a year old, but in the short time we’ve played some beautiful concerts together and are excited to be playing at this year’s Gothenburg Fringe Festival in Sweden.
