helen gentile & lewis wood

Helen Gentile & Lewis Wood (Threepenny Bit and Granny’s Attic respectively), interweave clarinet and fiddle to perform an evocative set of tunes from the balfolk canon. The duo combines the talent of two musicians who are firmly embedded into the folk music community in England, with many festival credits between them. Their material comprises traditional, contemporary and original European folk dance music, with loose, ever-evolving arrangements creating space for improvisation and showcasing the interplay between the instruments. Their first studio album, Violet Sky, was nominated for Album of the Year by Bright Young Folk.

‘The clarinet and fiddle interweave seamlessly and the playing is faultless.’ Songlines
‘Totally enchanting.’ FATEA
