Dulwich Folk on 5th March. Bryony Griffith and Alice Jones at the Castle , 280 Crystal Palace Road , East Dulwich, SE22

[Dulwich Folk]

Were getting ready to welcome Bryony and Alice for whats promising to be a fantastic evening . Songs in harmony ancient and modern, two great voices, fiddles , guitars and maybe even a step dance. A rare visit to South London from these two brilliant singers.

Hailing from West Yorkshire, Bryony and Alice are united by a fascination with local folk song collections inspired by the landscape, language and industry. As a duo, they blend their respect and understanding of tradition and research with their own contemporary style of performance to present a unique repertoire of harmony, heritage and Northern banter, featuring Fiddle, Harmonium, Tenor Guitar, body percussion and intricate vocals in their distinctive regional accents. They have a dance music and step dance background as well as a deep commitment to folk song.  ​

Their 2022 CD "A Year Too Late and A Month Too Soon" ( described by Mark Radcliffe as "straight up , beautiful and bold folksinging") features fresh interpretations of treasured old songs with passionate vocals .  ​

Bryony’s career has taken her from feisty a cappella group The Witches Of Elswick and the award-winning Demon Barbers to acclaimed duo work with Will Hampson. Bryony is also a member of the English Fiddle Ensemble and is a song-writer.​

Alice started as a step-dancing and clogging prodigy and became a ceilidh band musician. She has been part of the The John Dipper Band and is a solo performer as well. Her album " Poor Strange Girl" is excellent .She is a researcher of traditional song, and collaborated with Pete Coe on " the Search For Five Finger Frank" a project based on the collection of Frank Kidson.

Music starts at 7.30 (Doors 7) Entrance £12.
