The Hackney Folk Club Presents

Angeline Morrison

Angeline is one of the leading voices in British folk music today and is widely celebrated for her soulful, resonant voice, evocative songwriting, and deeply affecting performances. Angeline’s songwriting and approach to traditional folk song, explores ordinary lives with reverence and curiosity. Accompanying herself on autoharp, dulcimer, and mbira, or singing unaccompanied, she delivers performances that linger long in memory.

Her groundbreaking album The Sorrow Songs: Folk Songs of Black British Experience, released on historic label Topic Records, illuminated the often-overlooked Black British presence within the folk canon. Hailed as The Guardian’s Folk Album of the Year, it spent 15 weeks in the Top 40 Official Folk Albums Chart and is described by Angeline as a re-storying and a gift to forgotten Black ancestors and today’s folk community.
