Brown Wimpenny, an 11-piece folk ensemble from south Manchester, weave traditional music from the British Isles and beyond into a vibrant web of jigs, reels, drones and choral harmonies. Described by The Quietus as a source of “energy, eccentricity, communion and joy,” they’ve performed at Green Man, Cambridge Folk Festival and Northgate Folk Festival and have sold-out five Manchester headline shows. While also involved in classical, experimental, noise and electronic projects, they are boldly carving out a unique place in the trad music scene.
