Smoke Fairies

MOJO Rising: Smoke Fairies see www.mojo4music.com

Katherine Blamire and Jessica Davies, aka Smoke Fairies, only opted for their university history course in order to secure a second year studying in New Orleans. It was here, playing in the city’s bars and cafés, that the duo began to cross-pollinate the tenets of trad-folk and swamp blues that make up their cool, sultry sound.

Four years on, with Bryan Ferry and Richard Hawley’s seal of approval now intact, Smoke Fairies have released their first single Living With Ghosts – a song awash with the wistful melancholy that has seen them pull in fans from far and wide. Blamire: “We see people absorbed as we play and surely that’s what they connect to in a song – the things they don’t go around saying every day.”

Mr. President (Have Pity on the Working Man)

We’ve taken all you’ve given
But it’s gettin’ hard to make a livin’
Mr. President have pity on the working man

We ain’t asking for you to love us
You may place yourself high above us
Mr. President have pity on the working man

I know it may sound funny
But people ev’ry where are runnin’ out of money
We just can’t make it by ourself

It is cold and the wind is blowing
We need something to keep us going
Mr. President have pity on the working man

Maybe you’re cheatin’
Maybe you’re lyin’
Maybe you have lost your mind
Maybe you’re only thinking ’bout yourself

Too late to run. Too late to cry now
The time has come for us to say good-bye now
Mr. President have pity on the working man
Mr. President have pity on the working man
