Birdvox is an exciting new electro-folk band born from a mutual love of birds, harmonies and kitchen discos. Together they embrace energetic, shapeshifting synthesis and the joy of vocal interplay.  Expect velvet harmonies, considered lyrical stylings and lively bespoke beats.
 
Birdvox comprises four established, multi-tasking artist-producers:
– Sarah Hayes (vocals, flute, synths, programming)
– Charlotte Printer (vocals, bass)
– Jenny Sturgeon (vocals, guitar, synths, sampling)
– Inge Thomson (vocals, accordion, electronica, beats)
 
We saw them perform at Showcase Scotland at Celtic Connections this January and were very impressed, can’t wait to hear their debut album dropping in September!
 

Emily Barden needs no introduction to our audience!  She is a composer, songwriter, choral director and workshop leader – and is known to (and beloved by) many as the Director of our WemsFest Surtierra Touring Project Choir.  Emily works with many Arts Organisations, Music Hubs and schools.  She specialises in co-creating songs and original work with young people in group settings as well as leading massed singing events across all age groups.  Recent commissions include the Philharmonia Orchestra, Benedetti Foundation, Sing Up, Britten Pears Arts, & Portsmouth Music Hub
