Elspeth Anne

Elspeth is a queer singer songwriter weaving traditional folk, alt country and punk influences into a mesmeric dark folk sound. She plays a mix of original and traditional songs accompanied by guitar and drones.

Currently based on the Welsh Borders, Elspeth has been performing regularly in the UK and Europe as a solo artist.

Elspeth’s work has been championed in the past year by artist and folk researcher Ben Edge and Lankum’s Ian Lynch on his podcast Fire Draw Near. Her recently released third album, Mercy Me, has received highly favourable reviews from the Guardian, Folk Radio UK and Trad Folk, with Folk Radio describing it as an album full of ideas, but more importantly, full of feeling, a raw, moving triumph.
