Tamsin Elliott Trio

Tamsin is a folk musician, composer and film-maker based in Bristol, UK. With roots in the dance tunes of the British Isles, her interests and playing styles extend to European and Middle Eastern musics as well as experimental and ambient sounds. Her "beautiful, filmic compositions for accordion, harp, whistle and voice" (The Guardian) are grounded in tradition, whilst pushing boundaries and exploring minimalist, neo-classical, sound art and other non-traditional formats.

Her debut solo album ‘FREY’, which features the playing of Sid Goldsmith and Rowan Rheingans, was released to critical acclaim on Penny Fiddle Records in June 2022. In this work Tamsin explores themes of limbo, pain, healing and acceptance.

"[FREY] is a very human record in which the many cross-cultural influences magnificently coalesce to transcend hardship and distress" - Songlines
