HEISK + Jenn Butterworth & Will Pound

Vibrant six-piece HEISK are a powerful force on the folk scene. Their relentlessly energetic music stems from their roots in Scottish traditional music and combines it with punchy riffs and grooves. The group banded together after noticing a lack of female representation in trad music. This inspired them to create the 10-track album with a range of other female creatives.

Jenn Butterworth is one of the most notable folk guitarists in the UK acoustic music scene. In recent years she was awarded ‘Musician of the Year’ from the Scots Trad Music Awards, and was nominated for the same title in the BBC Radio 2 Folk Awards. One of the finest harmonica and melodeon players of his generation, Will Pound has pushed the boundaries of traditional music.
