Marie Buhl (EP & poetry zine release party)

Marie Buhl is a Danish singer, translator, and multi-instrumentalist based in London. This evening celebrates two of her personal idols and Danish household names. Poet Tove Ditlevsen (1917-76) wrote on themes such as her working-class childhood, her disappointment in marriage, and how our personal histories inevitably shape us. Pioneering singer and songwriter Anne Linnet (1953-) has set music to many of Ditlevsen’s poems.
Marie DB · Streets of childhood
Marie started translating these poems simply to share what’s precious to her with friends who didn’t speak Danish. She’s now releasing an EP and printed zine of four English translations, written specifically to be sung. Her performances are stripped-back, folky, and emotive, putting the poetry front and centre.
