The Darling Sins

The Darling Sins were formed when Leni and Joe met at a gig in Dublin and decided to meet again for a jam. The jam was good.

"Wexford-based Leni Morrison and Joe Harpur's chance meeting at a gig in Dublin was the starting point for a bunch of raw, hugely promising, slow-motion blues tunes with plenty of crunch in the mix, such as Pebbles and Magic In Our Air."

- Jim Carroll, The Irish Times

"They have produced an intriguing demo that augers well for their creative future. 'Pebbles' is a slow ballad that gives Ms Leni space to let her voice take you to all the right places while Harpur's piano creates the perfect mood. On 'Magic In Our Air' she takes on some of the positive elements of both Amy Winehouse and Norah Jones, with appropriately subtle guitar backing. 'Sweet Lady G' has a stately Elizabethan feel to it and doesn't let you down."

"On disc Pan are Soulful, sensual and new, yet one could almost imagine that you are listening in the drawing room of an ancient Norman castle, gazing at the swans sailing peacefully in the lily pond. On stage, they add another layer of startling visual excitement with Leni moving non-stop to a silent sensual rhythm inside her head and Joe providing meticulously beautiful support on Guitar and Piano. The energy is absolutely contagious!"
