Burd Ellen is a new solo project from Debbie Armour (Alasdair Roberts, Green Ribbons, Alex Rex) featuring Gayle Brogan (Pefkin, Barrett’s Dottled Beauty) and Lucy Duncan (Luki). The group uses traditional song to explore and evoke dark landscapes and deep stories. Innovative instrumentation, drone and sound-wash support detailed vocal work to create a unique sonic atmosphere.

"sonically adventurous ... with an emotional range and a raw inventiveness which is all too rare in contemporary folk circles." - Alex Neilson

"A masterclass in shimmering, ethereal folk music... Cannot recommend highly enough" - Kyle Lonsdale, Earth Recordings

Jacken Elswyth is a London-based banjo player exploring traditional tunes, extrapolations thereon, and improvisational pieces for clawhammer banjo.

Drawing on old-time Appalachian playing alongside American Primitive guitarists and English folk revivalists, Jacken adds drone accompaniments, extended playing techniques, and elements of free playing to push at the edges of these styles and traditions.

Jacken also organises Betwixt & Between Tapes, a limited-edition series of split cassette tapes, each of which pairs her own banjo playing with folk, drone, improvised and/or ambient music contributed by a different artist.
