Bryony Griffith & Alice Jones

Bryony Griffith & Alice Jones are established solo artists – and have existed for years at the heart of the UK folk scene. Together they have become a force for the Yorkshire Tradition, and are turning heads far beyond the Dales and moorland that they sing about. Drawing on a wealth of stories inspired by the landscape, language and industry of their surroundings, from heart rending unaccompanied tales of woe, to lively ditties about curious local characters and events, Bryony and Alice’s fresh and masterful interpretations of these treasured old songs allow the narrative to shine through. Each track showcases their instinct for melody and their devotion to research has unearthed some unique versions of more familiar songs. Via villages, valleys and moorlands they channel their own brand of Yorkshire folk music. Combining their respect and understanding of traditional song, music and dance with their own more contemporary style of folk performance. Together they present a unique repertoire of harmony, history and Northern banter. Bryony and Alice’s music celebrates a shared love for community heritage that resonates throughout Yorkshire and beyond. Mojo cited Bryony’s work as “sublime” BBC Radio 3’s Verity Sharp describing Alice as “superb & sincere”
