Mary Margaret O’Hara - Improvisations 1 & 2 / Pennies From Heaven - Live at Le Guess Who? 2017

Margaret O’Hara gave a very rare live performance at Le Guess Who? 2017 in Utrecht, The Netherlands. The performance was curated by Perfume Genius for the festival. We’re extremely proud to now be able to share the recordings of Canadian singer-songwriter Mary Margaret O’Hara’s live appearance at LGW17. Declared a ‘cult hero’ by The Guardian, her fans include Radiohead and Michael Stipe. Adding to the mystery that surrounds her, O’Hara only ever released one album, 1988’s iconic ‘Miss America’: a record which, over time, would turn out to be a very influential one. Re-watch her show at LGW, where Mary Margaret O’Hara — along with Peggy Lee, Aidan Closs, and her brother Marcus O’Hara playing balloons — gave a mostly improvised performance.
