Traditional English Folk Music

HOME


Mary Humphreys and Anahata are established on the British folk scene as enthusiastic and entertaining performers of traditional material. With extensive research, skilled musicianship and a huge variety of instruments they have unearthed and brought back to vivid life some rare gems of English song and music.

They are continually busy at festivals and folk clubs, with concert performances, workshops and presentations, playing for dancers and collaborating with Craig;Morgan;Robson in a special show called CHARM.

They have made three albums of their music, the latest, "Fenlandia" released in January 2007.

Mary sings traditional songs, mostly in English and a few in her native Welsh, and plays banjo and concertina. Anahata accompanies with melodeons, concertina and cello, and they play instrumental arrangements, mostly of English traditional music.

They also play for ceilidhs, as a duo or as part of bands Fendragon and English Rebellion.
