Event information

Tamsin is a folk musician, composer and film-maker based in Bristol, UK. With roots in the dance tunes of the British Isles, her interests and playing styles extend to European and Middle Eastern musics as well as experimental and ambient sounds. Her "beautiful, filmic compositions for accordion, harp, whistle and voice" (The Guardian) are rooted in tradition, whilst pushing boundaries and exploring minimalist, neo-classical, sound art and other non-traditional formats.

"There is a rich thread of collaboration throughout [Tamsin's work], one which both celebrates and highlights the coming together of cultures and music... The results are always refreshingly inventive and exciting" - Folk Radio UK

Her debut solo album ‘FREY’, which features the playing of Sid Goldsmith and Rowan Rheingans, was released to critical acclaim on Penny Fiddle Records in June 2022. Described by Tradfolk as "One of the most accomplished debut albums we've heard in a long time... the influence of tradition pulses through every track".
