Anoushka Helm
Based in Falmouth, Anoushka Helm’s dreamy blend of psychedelic folk sounds and sweet storytelling enchants her listeners and guides them gently through a driving ethereal journey. Her passionate songwriting and sensitive ecologically-inspired performances create a beautiful sense of intimacy with her audience, as well as the ever changing environments around us.
Around About Dusk
Chuffed to welcome Around About Dusk to the Fringe! An original project from Bristol, offering a unique journey through the vibrant fusion of New Orleans jazz, European folk, and old-time influences, coming together in their distinct repertoire.
Around About Dusk formed after a journey to New Orleans playing on the porches of Louisiana and heading through busking festivals of Europe to campfires in England. They are warm, captivating and unique!
"Haunting melodies, tightly laced harmonies and rich vocals weave stories about wonder and nature with echoes of cabaret, chanson, early jazz and folk shifting around like growing shadows."
