Sister act

Engelchen, the new LP from Alison Cotton, is a tribute to Sunderland-born sisters Ida and Louise Cook, whose courage and ingenuity saved the lives of Jews trapped in Nazi Germany. She'll be performing the material in the splendid setting of Gregynog Hall, near Newtown in Powys, on 23rd March.

Here's my preview of the show for Buzz, and here she is talking to the Quietus' Alex Rigotti about the remarkable story behind the record.
