Just released her first EP Alice is already working on new material for her album, stay tuned to hear more as it comes!

Creating ambient lilting rhythmic harmonies with the harp allowing the bellowing husky vocals to be perfectly contrasted in a very unusual but beautiful way! Influenced by folk from near and far, irish to chinese, Alice blends this with non traditional and blues infused melodies Joined with double bass, cello, violin and percussion providing the perfect accompaniment. 


"Alice Phelps truely is is a stand out performer and one of the finest musicians in the capital. She integrates the harp into contemporary soulful compositions with her accomplished backing band, who add the icing to the cake. Prepare to go on a fantastic journey through folk blended with non traditional blues infused melodies. A trip well worth taking" - Charlite Wrights


Beasts Of Burgundy (out March 23, 2018) - Twelve original new songs from the mind of Jimbo Mathus and the Squirrel Nut Zippers.  This is the bands first studio album in 18 years.  A return to form... a revival not a reunion.

Buffo’s Wake are a twelve-legged beast hatched in the murky backwater of Brighton, UK. Armed with accordions, violins and a bucket full of gusto they waltz, tango, mosh and kolo their way through various influences from Eastern European, Balkan and Russian folk, to punk rock and cabaret, telling tales of debauchery, deformity, zombies, incest and anatomy and making the audience dance into the night in the process.

On Halloween 2014, Buffo’s Wake released their debut album Carniphobia. Recorded in an array of bedrooms, studios (and everywhere in between), Buffo’s Wake decided not to use any synthesized instruments on their songs, instead opting for entirely acoustic instruments, effects and atmospherics. The album was created using singing saws, wine glasses, old rusty pipes, handmade percussion instruments and anything else they could get their grubby little paws on. The result is the haunting sound of an abandoned circus flowing throughout the album, inspiring the title Carniphobia.
