Combining the rich traditions of the Isle of Man with the varied sounds of synth pop and Eurofolk, Elizabeth Davidson-Blythe & Daniel Quayle have forged a sound that is both dramatic and compelling. Since the release of their debut album, “The Coast Road”, in 2022, the duo has been invigorating audiences, bringing their distinctive sound to festivals across Europe and beyond, while picking up new influences along the way.

Whether they’re burning through reels or setting the scene for a meditative air, audiences are enraptured by their fresh new take on a musical tradition like no other. Their aim as a duo is to bring Manx music to the masses, and they have already performed at some of the scene’s most prestigious festivals, including Celtic Connections (2024), the Australian Celtic Festival (2024), and Estonia’s Viljandi Folk Music Festival (2021).

Looking ahead, Elizabeth and Daniel are set to release their highly anticipated second album in 2025, building on their unique fusion of tradition and innovation. As they continue to evolve, they remain committed to sharing the rich musical heritage of the Isle of Man with audiences around the globe.
