FritillariesFritillaries is the original project of contemporary folk/Americana songwriter Hannah Pawson, a Bristol-based musician using banjo, guitar and harmonium. Hannah is originally from Exmouth and grew up around the music of many of the local folk legends - Show of Hands, Seth Lakemen, Edgelarks (Philip Henry and Hannah Martin). She played her first shows at Exmouth Folk Club and in 2022, 10 years later, she sold out the Blackmore Theatre in Exmouth with her debut album show. She's returning to Devon with an intimate solo show to celebrate her new EP Thank God I Have The Songs.
Taking her name from the Snake’s Head Fritillary, a flower of rebirth and hope, Hannah weaves worlds into her songs.
Whilst Hannah has been honing her songwriting and live performances since 2017, the arrival of her 2022 debut album resulted in her gaining much well earned attention and acclaim. Having performed as a duo for many years, Hannah’s future focus is as a solo artist. Her newer music - soon to be released - explores her relationship to grief, uncertainty and dealing with chronic illness. Living, loving and songwriting can all feel like gardening; bringing something beautiful into the world from the depths of the earth and through complicated root systems.
Fritillaries’ debut album was nominated for FATEA’s debut album of the year for 2022, was Folk Radio UK’s featured album of the month in August 2022, and received reviews from RNR magazine, Folk Radio UK, Folking and Americana UK among other publications. Her music has been featured on BBC Radio 6, BBC Radio 2, BBC Bristol, BBC Wales and BBC Devon.
Fritillaries have toured extensively in the UK in the last 5 years, headlining notable grassroots venues around the UK, such as Kitchen Garden Cafe (Birmingham), Green Note (London), Cafe #9 (Sheffield), Bristol Folk House, as well as performing at plenty of festivals, (Purbeck Valley Folk Festival, Bristol Folk Festival, Gate to Southwell, Hyde Park Folk Festival) and occasionally doing some international touring.
