The Icelandic Choir of London, founded in 1984, performs a varied Nordic programme and travels regularly. The group’s main focus is to perform Icelandic choral music, but they also perform folk music, pop music arrangements, and other Nordic choral repertoire.
Storyteller, singer and writer Matthew Crampton. A critically acclaimed performer of music hall, variety and comic songs, as well as more traditional material, Matthew also co-adapted Peter Bellamy's The Transports, which won 5 Stars from the Guardian. He has adapted several other works into musical performances and also a wide range of books.
Solo singer Maz O’Connor. Described by The Observer as ‘a highly individual singer-songwriter’, Maz O’Connor is known for her haunting, emotive vocals and poetic lyricism. She has previously won a BBC Performing Arts Fund Fellowship and her albums have received widespread critical acclaim with Mark Radcliffe describing her latest 'What I wanted' (May 2022) as 'an excellent thing'.
James Delarre and Saul Rose harnesses all the subtleties of traditional music while producing an exciting and energetic display of musicianship. Together they produce a full range of melodic and harmonic flavour with flowing melodies, rich harmony and considered vocal delivery.
