She has collaborated and toured with groundbreaking artists including Imogen Heap, Talvin Singh, Frank London, Riz Ahmed, Portico Quartet, Patrick Wolf, Alabaster De Plume, Hannah Peel & Tom Skinner and has performed live at the EFG London Jazz Festival, WOMAD, Kings Place, Glastonbury Festival, Cafe Oto, Cadogan Hall & the Royal Festival Hall. Francesca composes for film, documentaries and video games.


Jacken Elswyth is a London-based folk musician, banjo player, and instrument builder. In her music making she is focused on exploring traditional tunes, developing extrapolations on folk styles and techniques, and investigating drone, ambience, and improvisation within and beyond folk music. She plays and records solo and in collaboration - with Shovel Dance Collective, Sullow, The Greater London Banjo Trio, and others. She also builds and repairs banjos and other instruments, with a focus on folk craft and vernacular styles. This practice and these instruments inform and facilitate her music making.


Laurel Uziell is one of many pseudonyms used by the self-described 'finger artist' Collette Mingely. She can make over 14 different sounds.
