Post Description

Een verbluffend goed debuutalbum. Ik wens iedereen een fijne jaarwisseling en een gezond en muzikaal 2023.


llie Gowers is, quite literally, an all-singing, all-dancing folk polymath. While it’s true that her debut album is not a collection of traditional songs, there’s no way we could ignore it here on Tradfolk. It is a magical mix of folklore, trad-inspired melodies, and tales of the Warwickshire lives that shaped the county she calls home.

Not content with writing songs on folk history, however, she’s also making folk history, too. Ellie, as she explains in this interview, is part of Chinewrde Morris, the first female side to be invited to dance at the esteemed Saddleworth Rushcart, which they attended earlier this year. If there was ever a walking advert for young people joining Morris sides and getting their bell-jangling groove on, Ellie may well be it.
