Rhiannon

Rhiannon stands as a distinguished group within the UK folk music landscape. Known for their evocative instrumentation and deep roots in traditional British sounds, the band brings together the talents of Barritt, Booker, Davies, Hurcombe, and Thorpe. Their 1985 album, The Birds of Rhiannon, showcases a timeless approach to folk, with tracks such as “Apples in Winter,” “Fhir a’ Bhàta,” and “Twa Corbies” highlighting their ability to breathe new life into classical and contemporary narratives alike. Pieces like “Lovely Joan” and “Will Ye Go to Flanders?” reveal a thoughtful curation of both well-loved and rare melodies, thoughtfully arranged to appeal to the discerning folk listener.

The ensemble’s commitment to live performance remains evident. In November 2026, Rhiannon is set to perform at Bodega Bar as part of the event “Bodega Introduces - the home of new music.” At this concert, they will take the stage as a support act to Peter Hall, sharing the bill with fellow artists Jack Smith, George Nash, and Matt Blaney. This appearance reflects Rhiannon’s unwavering presence and respect within the folk music community, and promises an engaging experience for those seeking authentic live folk music.

With every concert and recording, Rhiannon reinforces their reputation as a vital voice in British folk. Fans and those passionate about live traditional music should follow Rhiannon closely and keep an eye out for their upcoming gigs and tour dates.
