Alice Jones joins us again this year as workshop leader and MC. Alice is a singer, multi-instrumentalist and percussive dancer from Ripponden in West Yorkshire. Performing mainly English folk. Alice sings mostly traditional songs accompanying herself on the piano, tenor guitar or harmonium and sometimes only with body percussion. The sensitive and intuitive arrangements of each song allow the stories to take centre stage and, inspired by her beginnings as a percussive dancer, they are loaded with a rhythm and energy that portrays her dancer’s heartbeat. Her distinctive voice and innovative style lends a fresh, modern perspective to traditional material and brings new life to old songs.
