Party: Ribbon Road at Montrose Folk Club

Party: Ribbon Road at Montrose Folk Club

Ribbon Road sing beautifully crafted songs drawing from folk music's long tradition yet relevant to our ever-changing modern times. Based on tight harmonies and simple instrumental arrangements which accentuate the words, their sound has a powerful directness often missing in contemporary song.

For the last 20 years, Brenda Heslop has been one of the undiscovered talents of songwriting, she has a captivating voice which draws the listener in to her stories of life in its many guises. Her seven studio albums with Ribbon Road have resulted in a stunningly, beautiful collection of songs in which there is compassion, triumph, sorrow and hope, mixed with flares of anger at those who abuse their power.

Brenda's husband Geoff might be a familiar name to you, as he has produced over 100 folk albums in the last 40 years with the likes of Bert Jansch, Kathryn Tickell, Rab Noakes, Alan Hull, Five Hand Reel, Dick Gaughan, Rory McLeod, Allan Taylor and many others.

Folk songwriters have always written songs about the people and things around them - their stories, their feelings, their experiences and Brenda, a working shepherd looking after hundreds of sheep on the hills of Northumberland, carries on this tradition.
