Bryony and Will hail from sunny Yorkshire and will be familiar to any of you who frequent folk festivals around the UK. English fiddle player and singer Bryony Griffith and melodeon player and dancer Will Hampson have been performing together for almost 20 years. They were both members of the acclaimed ceilidh band, Bedlam; the exciting young Cotswold morris side, Dogrose; the celebrated rapper dancers, Newcastle Kingsmen, and have been key members of the brilliant and award-winning Demon Barbers for the last ten years. Bryony was also a member of the much-missed a cappella group The Witches of Elswick. She has been described as having “the vocal power of a young Norma Waterson, the poise and attitude of the late Sandy Denny and the stage presence of Janis Joplin.” (Allan Wilkinson, Northern Sky). Add to that her ‘deliciously rustic’ fiddle playing’ (Colin Irwin) and Will’s driving yet sensitive melodeon playing and you get a distinctive repertoire of dark ballads, chorus songs and dance tunes delivered with good-humoured Yorkshire banter!
