Elspeth Anne - The Brisk Lad (Fireside Sessions) 15/03/2023

My dear friend and musical artist Helen Terrett will be my backing band for my upcoming tour, on backing vocals, percussion, & sampler. We’ve worked together over the years on various projects - most recently in Berlin with our experimental immersive performance duo Crow & Clown, and running wild singing workshops as Off The Beaten Track. For this string of shows we’ve drawn from the recorded arrangements on Mercy Me to create an intimate and powerfully stark rendering of the songs. Can’t wait to play out! For 4 of the shows I'll be supporting the wonderful Jacken Elswyth too.
Gigs from 31st March in Shipley, Sheffield, London, Stroud, Bishops Castle, Liverpool… details to follow, amuse-bouche below:
