Burd Ellen / Lizabett Russo / Georgia Seddon

Burd Ellen is a new solo project from Debbie Armour (Alasdair Roberts, Green Ribbons, Alex Rex) featuring Gayle Brogan (Pefkin, Electroscope). They evoke and explore the dark landscapes and deep stories of traditional song. Innovative instrumentation, drone and sound-wash support ethereal vocals to create an immersive sonic atmosphere.

"the idea of Burd Ellen is to discover new ways to explore the British folk tradition and this record certainly accomplishes that ... haunting" - The Wire Magazine

"...this is a record that rapidly establishes its credentials as the work of a significant artist" — fRoots Magazine

Transylvanian-born, Scotland-based singer-songwriter Lizabett Russo merges her native traditions with elements of contemporary jazz, avant garde folk and world music, a range of influence effortlessly spanned by her powerfully versatile voice. The BBC have championed her work - featuring on both BBC Radio 3 and Radio 6 as well as the BBC stage at Latitude Festival.

Musically Russo's influences are wide ranging. Echoes of her native Transylvania (Romania) are beautifully interwoven with avant garde folk, contemporary jazz and world music.
