Elspeth Anne

Elspeth Anne is a queer performer reimagining the traditional folk music of the British Isles, drawing in alt country and punk influences to craft a mesmeric dark sound of drones, guitar and voice. Based on the Welsh border, her practice is informed by the wilder landscape and the liminal undercurrent of the area. Elspeth's work has been championed recently by artist and folk researcher Ben Edge and Lankums' Ian Lynch on his podcast Fire Draw Near. Her third album, Mercy Me, has received highly favourable reviews from the Guardian, Folk Radio UK and Trad Folk, with Folk Radio describing it as ?an album full of ideas, but more importantly, full of feeling, a raw, moving triumph.? Elspeth has supported diverse artists such as One Leg One Eye, Shovel Dance Collective, Stick in the Wheel and Richard Dawson. ?The whole performance is sonically raw, emotionally raw, and arrestingly beautiful. Whether on wry originals or loving renditions of ?Peggy Gordon?, ?When I Was A Young Girl? and ?The Brisk Lad?, Elspeth Anne?s music is spellbinding? ?
