Our folk club on the Hartlepool Headland has occasional guest nights. Next up, Bryony & Alice! The Fishermans Arms is a small but perfectly-formed pub, so tickets are strictly limited. Book now.
Hailing from West Yorkshire, Bryony & Alice are long-time purveyors of English folk music, united by a fascination with local folk songs and tunes.
With their signature sound of fiddle, harmonium, tenor guitar, body percussion, and intricate vocals in their trademark regional accents, they combine a respect and understanding of tradition with their own contemporary style to present a unique repertoire of harmony, heritage, and Northern humour.
Casting a spotlight on the traditions, tales, and rituals of Yorkshire, their 2022 debut duo album, ‘A Year Too Late and a Month Too Soon’, and 2023 winter album, ‘Wesselbobs’, received 5-star reviews and global airplay, leading to major radio and festival appearances and European tours, placing them firmly at the forefront of the English folk scene.
"Straight up, beautiful and bold folk singing" Mark Radcliffe - BBC Radio 2
"A sparkling tribute to Yorkshire's folk heritage" Songlines
“Well-known on the grassroots scene for multifarious adventures with different outfits, this pair pitch together their fiddle and guitar and passionate vocals with winning vitality on a vividly enticing bunch of traditional music from their home county of Yorkshire. No fancy frills here – we get songs of fratricide, coalmining, betrayal, cockfighting and drinking, delivered in all their raw glory. Honest, wholesome and thoroughly enjoyable.”
Colin Irwin - Mojo
