The Ashen Keys
The Ashen Keys have had an exciting first summer performing at Shrewsbury Folk Festival as one of the winners of the 2023 Launchpad competition, and Purbeck Valley Folk Festival as one of the finalists of Purbeck Rising. Now in 2026, they have played a headline slot at Broadstairs Folk Week and look forward to playing Ely Folk Festival having won their bandstand festival. This special Summer Solstice event promises to be an afternoon celebration of nature, the seasons and our connection to the natural world.
They describe themselves as a multi instrumental, multi voiced celebration of heart felt story telling. The group brings together three musicians - Hannah Ellerby (vocals, violin, oboe and ukulele), Rachel Lowrie (vocals, guitar, ukulele and clarinet), and Vicky Price (vocals, French horn, accordion) - and their sound tells of influences from folk, blues, pop, classical and even early music. Expect to be taken on a journey through dark folk tales, bittersweet love stories and reveries on nature, all with lashings of vocal harmonies and unique instrumentation.
