About this Event
Nick Hart is an award-winning singer and multi-instrumentalist whose work with English folk song is rapidly gaining him a reputation as one of the most acclaimed performers of his generation. His considered approach to accompaniment is informed by a deep respect for the nuances of traditional song and his captivating live performances are a testament to the importance he places on story-telling.
Nick has released Three solo albums, 'Nick Hart Sings Eight English Folk Songs' (2017) and Nick Hart Sings Nine English Folk Songs (2019), and Nick Hart Sings Ten English Folk Songs (2022), all to critical acclaim.
The Norfolk Broads are Anna Cornish, Eleanor Dale, Helen Cherry, and Daisy Johnson, a four-piece female ensemble who enjoy singing low-pitched folk songs about love, despair and dastardly boyfriends.
They bonded over maritime work songs and failed romances in the alto section of the Trad Academy Sea Shanty Choir, deciding to form a girl-group during a long car ride to Cornwall in 2014. Since then, they have performed their spirited harmonies at festivals and venues in London and further afield, including Green Note, the Harrison, on board the Cutty Sark, Wilton's Music Hall, Folk East festival and the Minack Theatre.
The Broads supply their repertoire of traditional stories with a very contemporary verve and energy, using old songs to fuel new takes on the lives of women both past and present.
"Young female quartet the Norfolk Broads are strong storytellers...Their close harmonies brought a witty feminist take to a well-curated set of tales of impotence, greedy landlords, and the joys of a single life." ~ The Guardian
