Clementine Lovell is a singer and accordion player with roots in both English and Irish folk, whose influences include folk rock/revival, classical, electronic and experimental music. She takes traditional songs and reworks them, as well as writing her own songs, engaging the audience with stories of ordinary people, and the struggles, joys and emotions that connect us and make us human. Clementine has a distinctive lyrical voice which can produce clear, soaring, eerie, and shimmering vocal lines, contrasting against the dark bassy accordion drones and weaving in amongst the piano accordion treble harmonies. She has collaborated with composer/pianist James Keay (co-writer of Sam Lee’s album Old Wow), violinist Tom Leary (Feast of Fiddles), percussionist Robbie K Jones (Track Dogs/Steve Knightly), cellist/singer Marion Fleetwood (The Sandy Denny Project) and guitarist Vo Fletcher (Ric Sanders/Fairport Convention).

Clementine will be joined by multi-instrumentalist Marion Fleetwood … a stalwart of the magnificent Feast of Fiddles, a founder member of TRADarrr, Fleetwood Cave and an integral member of the Reg Meuross Woody Guthrie project ‘Fire & Dust’. Marion sings, plays guitar, violin, cello and is a classically trained player with a performance background which also includes jazz and folk.
