Eliza Marshall: Eternal Birth Tour

Event information

Just announced:
Senegalese percussionist Ady Thioune will be joining Eliza Marshall
Eliza - who's the flautist for Peter Gabriel, Stevie Wonder, Royal Ballet… but stepping out solo for the first time says:
"I first met Ady in Italy back in 2019, and our friendship and collaboration have since taken me to Senegal a number of times. Spending time with him and his family there was incredibly inspiring. We recorded Eternal Birth together in Dakar and later at here in the UK. Eternal Birth is like a full circle of influences from across my life, and it feels so important to bring these together on stage (with Ady) for the first time."

Eliza Marshall - flautist, composer, artist

Step into a powerful world of sound and spirit as renowned cross-genre-flautist Eliza Marshall brings her debut solo projects New Birth & Eternal Birth to life on stage this Autumn. 2025 sees Eliza spring forth solo, from two decades of numerous collaborations, with her debut EP ‘New Birth’ released on Real World X in May, and her debut album ‘Eternal Birth’ coming this September.

Weaving layers of haunting flute melodies, hypnotic rhythms, percussion and electronics, spoken word and guitars - as well as her huge array of whistles and bansuris - Eliza draws on global traditions and profound inner reflection for these intimate and soul stirring performances.

Breaking boundaries though creativity has always been at the core of flautist Eliza’s music making, with a particular love of the music from Scotland and Africa, Steve Reich and Paul Simon. A catalyst for positive change, her work is inspired by nature and driven by a deep desire for compassion and a connected humanity.

Renowned for her work with the award-winning folk group Ranagri, Eliza is also an in-demand session player contributing to records by the likes of Stevie Wonder, Paul McCartney, First Aid Kit, Florence & The Machine and The White Stripes. She was a member of Peter Gabriel's New Blood Orchestra and also appears on his current album i/o. She is founder and Artistic Director of the multi-media-production Freedom To Roam - awarded 5* reviews from Morning Star, 4* from Songlines and standing ovations around the UK.

Join Eliza as she releases her debut album Eternal Birth this September, celebrating the cycle of life, mother in earth, and our eternal nurture through nature.
