✨ If you came along to one of our Mid-Winter Hullabaloos in January, you'll probably remember the brilliant Anna Pool, who helped bring the event to life with her incredible music. ✨
Anna is also a member of the amazing folk trio Wise Woman. Blending ancient folk traditions with a bold contemporary flair, Wise Woman create a unique mix of lush harmonies, cinematic strings and a healthy dose of 90s girl power.
The band has just launched a crowdfunding campaign for Foxfire — the official musical adaptation of Sharon Blackie's acclaimed Foxfire, Wolfskin & Other Tales of Shapeshifting Women. Developed by Wise Woman in collaboration with Sounds Just Fine (The Spell Songs), the project will become a full-length album and live concert celebrating myth, transformation and powerful women's stories.
To bring the recording to life, the team is aiming to raise £10,000 through crowdfunding.
If you're able to support, or simply help spread the word, it would mean a huge amount and help make this ambitious project a reality.

Good luck Anna and the Wise Woman team - we can't wait to hear it! 💛
