Elizabeth Davidson-Blythe & Daniel Quayle

Combining the rich tradition of Manx music with the vibrant sounds of the Irish, Scottish and Estonian traditions, Elizabeth Davidson-Blythe & Daniel Quayle have forged a sound that is both dramatic and compelling. The Isle of Man-based duo released their highly anticipated debut album, The Coast Road, in September 2022. The album has been hailed as “a hell of an album” by Folk Wales Magazine and “an exhilarating journey from two bright and inspired talents” by At the Barrier. Their travels have helped to shape their distinctive sound — blending old melodies with new rhythms and ideas that are presented with a powerful conviction that continuously brings audiences to their feet. A recent review of their album wrote that the traditions "flow seamlessly in glorious union".
