FRITILLARIES//JESS MEGSON//PADDY ELLIOITT-WALKER
September 28, 2022 @ 7:30 pm - 11:30 pm
£5.00
FRITLLARIES are a Bristol-based folk and Americana duo, playing original songs on guitar, mandolin and banjo. Their recent songs have their hands in the soil, and take a compassionate look at the shadowy parts of ourselves.
Playing together since childhood, Hannah and Gabriel share a unique intimacy and ability to draw audiences into their world. First playing music together in Exmouth, Devon, they’ve been based in Bristol since 2020. Their debut album – about people missed, places found, and things unearthed from the spaces the light doesn’t reach – will be released on 15th July 2022 on Pear O’Legs Records. The album was made possible by generous funding from Crowdfunders and Help Musicians.
Fritillaries’ music – sometimes upbeat and bold, sometimes slow and contemplative – is always original and engaging, combining Americana instrumentation and English folk roots with a pop song sensibility.
JESS MEGSON is a troubadour in the classic sense of the term, wandering wherever her muse takes her, from the rooftops of Morocco, to Portugal and Bali. Hers is a contemplative, dream infused sound that evokes a wistful and sometimes strange melancholia. Check her out, she’s playing for us.
PADDY ELLIOTT-WALKER plays latin jazz and soul upon his piano. He’s unbelievably gifted and we urge you to come along and see for yourself.
