Angeline Morrison

+ Support from Jacob Grae live in our amphitheatre,

Angeline Morrison is a singer, multi-instrumentalist and songwriter who explores traditional song with a deep love, respect and curiosity. Angeline mostly makes music in the genres of wyrd folk and psych folk, her work infused with elements of soul music, literature, ‘60s beat pop sounds, folklore, myth and the supernatural.

Angeline’s latest release The Sorrow Songs: Folk Songs of Black British Experience is a most excellent album and has been receiving rave reviews far and wide and resulted in an appearance on the’ later with Jools Holland’ in October of last year.

It is a work of re-storying. The historic Black presence in the UK dates back to at least Roman times, yet is often hidden, forgotten or unacknowledged. The populations of enslaved African people and their descendants in the USA have their bodies of folk song, which are vitally important for containing histories, expressing feelings, giving voice and claiming presence… but the Black ancestors of the UK have no equivalent body of song. The Sorrow Songs begins to address this. It is a gift to the forgotten Black ancestors of these islands, and to the folk community here today. The album uses history and imagination to tell stories of UK Black ancestors in the sonic style of UK traditional and folk music.

Angeline will be performing in the intimate Eco Park Amphitheatre with support from Jacob Grae.
