Event information

"There isn’t anyone else quite like them... Hands of the Heron unveil a profound sense of tranquility and aesthetic allure– a soothing balm for the contemporary world."- KLOF Mag

“Some of the most amazingly layered music that we play on the show… the vocals, strings, drones, everything they pull together to make their music is awesome.”- BBC Introducing

“Quiet Light offers a celestial dreamscape for any willing ears to join their already considerable following.”- Irish Music Magazine

Bristol-based psychfolk trio Hands of the Heron is a long-running collaboration between Bec Garthwaite, Beth Roberts & Claire Vine , each of whom brings a signature songwriting style to the band. Moving effortlessly between sparse choral folk and shimmering instrumental textures, their interlocking vocal harmonies are a constant thread running through the various hues of their dreamlike, mercurial songs. Their
third album Quiet Light (Cuculi Records, 22 Nov 2024) is a seamless expression of blend and balance that explores the tension between tending for yourself and connecting with others.
“A positive, soul-enriching experience… with intimate, sublimely detailed arrangements that create a strong sense of continuity… tender & hypnotically precise. An album of quiet light and not-so-quiet beauty that makes a striking impact, proving spiritually as well as musically rewarding.”- Folk London
“One to spend time with in quiet contemplation and let their charms bewitch."- Folkin
Support comes from West Country based Folk singer Sue Harding.“Hauntingly beautiful - A fine example of the new revival in English-style traditional folk music" - Julie Nash, Folk & Tumble
