Jacken Elswyth and Elspeth Anne
Kings Place, Hall Two, N1 9AG , [Venue Details]Opening the 2026/27 Future Folk series are two boundary-pushing artists at the edges of modern folk.
Jacken Elswyth and Elspeth Anne weave banjo, voice, drone and distortion into something strange and compelling. Drawing on tradition but never settling for it, their music drifts between the ancient and the experimental — stark, atmospheric, and full of feeling.
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 organises the Betwixt & Between tape series as one avenue of these investigations. She plays and records solo and in collaboration – with Shovel Dance Collective, Sullow, 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.
