Award-winning
duo ROSIE HODGSON and ROWAN PIGGOTT have forged an intriguing
musical partnership. Drawing upon their respective musical heritages their live
performances are a fusion of the Irish and English traditions. This is hardly
surprising since Rosie’s family is steeped in the songs and Morris dancing of
Sussex, while Rowan’s father was a
founder member of the Irish folk supergroup,
De Dannan.
To add
to the mix, Rosie is the lead vocalist with Irish band Crossharbour while Rowan was brought up in England and
whose mother, Frances was an inspirational fiddle teacher.
Rosie
is a songwriter, whose debut EP was well received but her engaging vocal style
brings warmth and conviction to traditional ballads too. At her side Rowan’s
wonderfully accomplished fiddle playing and vocal harmonies provide the perfect
foil.
"Rosie & Rowan are at
the forefront of the modern folk scene individually; together they form a
powerful partnership that will surely accelerate their rise to the top. Songs
crafted of the highest quality, sensitively delivered with haunting harmonies - and
a cheeky smile!"
