Event information

A combination of Angeline Morrison and Nick Duffy,
WE ARE MUFFY
From somewhere wild and strange in Cornwall come the idiosyncratic folk sounds of We Are Muffy, the happy alliance of NIck Duffy (The Lilac Time) and Angeline Morrison (The Mighty Sceptres, The Ambassadors of Sorrow). With influences including the Incredible String Band, Tyrannosaurus Rex, Sam Cooke, Max Romeo and Shirley & Dolly Collins weaving through their music, We Are Muffy spin poetic narratives of remembered and imagined pasts. Their album 'The Charcoal Pool' (Tapete Records, 2018) explores the peculiarities of memory and identity. Their distinctive strain of folk music combines vocal harmonies with unexpected instrumentation (lyre, music box, bottle tops), in amongst the expected (banjo, autoharp, double bass). We Are Muffy have been having a busy lockdown, pursuing their solo careers online while simultaneously adding to the We Are Muffy songbook. They are ready to bring that songbook to Rosslyn Court, to sing to a real audience for the first time in a long while.
"Imagine the good bits of Belle and Sebastian with all the drums and electrically powered stuff removed and replaced by thumb pianos". (PopMatters).
"We Are Muffy ably demonstrate how easy and natural it can be for homespun, charmingly ramshackle indie pop to elide with authentically-flavored (and even quite dark and haunting) English folk". (The Key/WXPN)
"If you’re looking for something different, a little unorthodox perhaps, with a quirky sense of humour, reflective moods and traditional in spirit then look no further. Trad folk that skips past time and place has a melancholy taste". (Americana UK)
We are taking Covid-19 very seriously at Rosslyn Court.
We will have a socially distanced limited number in the audience and we will take your temperature and contact details at the door. Please don’t travel here if you feel unwell.
You will be served drinks at your seat and there is a one-way system for the toilet.
There is a Perspex screen between the performers and the audience and an air extraction system above the stage.

This is a unique opportunity to spend time in the company of the performers and have that amazing experience that comes with attending a real live concert. There will be a bar. You will be served at your table, just write what you want on the pad on the table and don’t forget to ask for cake. There will be cake.

After the gig please pay for your drinks at your table (we will come round with a card machine or you can pay with cash) and carry on your conversations in the garden. Please don’t socialise in groups of more than 6.
