Krissy’s playing and singing honour the historical depth of folk music while making it her own. She connects deeply with her audience with music that transcends genre and stylistic boundaries. In the wonderful words of Mary Kippenberger: “those notes, those notes that make your neck elongate, your body inch upward, your hands taking an involuntary migration to the heart. Notes of such exquisite, primal purity. Or she just makes you pound your feet, clap your hands and then before you know it you are dancing.”

Keyboardist and harmony singer Peter Jackson is described as a player “whose quiet brilliance and intuition holds things together beautifully and sensitively.“ Together they create fabulous music, journeying from foot-stomping to heart-wrenching and everything in between.

Kirsty Bromley is a contemporary folk singer based in New Zealand who draws on a wide range of traditional music. She has a most disarmingly transparent voice, but in the way that she uses it, has the uncanny and beautiful knack of drawing attention to the song rather than the messenger. Her Debut Album ‘Time Ashore’ features original songs as well as carefully curated folk gems.
