Edinburgh Tradfest: Birdvox + Kate Young

“A rich evocation of nature, place and time … brought to fruition with verve, imagination and great musicality” – Jonathan Roscoe, Shire Folk

Born from a mutual love of birds, harmonies and kitchen discos, Birdvox is a new band whose core members comprise Sarah Hayes(Admiral Fallow, Rachel Newton, Andrew Wasylyk) on vox, flute, synths, programming, Jenny Sturgeon (Salt House, Herkja) on vox, guitar, synths, sampling, Charlotte Printer (Altered Images, Joesef, Apache Darling, Skipinnish) on vox, bass, programming and Inge Thomson (Karine Polwart Trio, Hen Hoose, Modern Fairies) on vox, accordion, electronica, beats. These women are all multi-tasking producers and creators in their own right and share a passion for creating fresh sounds exploring the potential of traditional and electronic instruments.

Birdvox is an evolution of the Northern Flyway project (see above below) and together they embrace energetic, shapeshifting synthesis and the joy of vocal interplay. Expect velvet harmonies, considered lyrical stylings and lively bespoke beats.

With special guest: Kate Young
