“A new British talent... beautiful, filmic compositions for accordion, harp, whistle and voice” - The Guardian Tamsin Elliott is a folk musician and composer with roots in the traditional dance tunes of the British Isles. In 'FREY', her debut album, she explores themes of limbo, pain, healing and acceptance, reflecting on the microcosm of her personal experience of chronic illness alongside wider themes of societal disconnection and environmental grief. Tamsin’s critically-acclaimed collaboration with Egyptian oud player Tarek Elazhary explores the parallels and celebrates the idiosyncrasies of Egyptian Maqam music and English folk traditions. Their friendship and resulting duo album ‘So Far We Have Come’ is a testament to the unifying power of music, and won them a place in The Guardian’s Top Ten Folk Albums of 2023, as well as a nomination for Best Group at the Songlines Music Awards. As a Musician in Residence at Bristol hospitals, Tamsin composes and plays for patients on lever harp.
