TRADITION WITH A TWIST

Graeme and Ali have had a busy year this year playing across the South and South West with both DEVIL'S ELBOW and recently with the new band Mad Magdalen,playing at some wonderful festivals and meeting lots of new friends.

The new album GRANDAD FRED'S MARROW was finally released and work started on the recording of a new project of 18th century tunes with Bob and Lesley Shatwell and Paul Tabbush.

As part of a living legacy, DEVIL'S ELBOW use new rhythms, harmonies and arrangements as part of their own distinct sound, playing traditional music as well as writing great new songs and tunes.Click at the bottom of the page to hear some of them.

She played in a variety of Irish, blues, folk rock and cajun bands in East Anglia including The Mormops and Hair of the Dog.A natural musician she plays accordian, fiddle, whistles, guitar and sings.
