A former BBC Performing Arts Fellow and Horizon Folk Award nominee, Rosie Hood is known for her powerful and clear vocals and captivating performances that combine poetic writing with dynamic and honest interpretations of traditional songs.
Rosie is joined by long-term collaborator fiddle-player Nicola Beazley, melodeon-player and percussionist Robyn Wallace and fiddle-player Rosie Butler-Hall to form The Rosie Hood Band. With experience playing for ceilidhs, dancing and in brass bands, the instrumentalists bring a great dynamic lift and drive, continuing Rosie's vision of re-working traditional English songs, as well as writing and arranging original material, touching on nature, human struggle, women’s voices and unheard stories.
With outstanding musicianship and a deep understanding of tradition, Nicola, Rosie and Robyn's sensitive playing combines perfectly with Rosie’s voice, skilfully and empathetically lifting each song.
“A Seed Of Gold is a formidable album that builds and broadens on the success of Rosie Hood’s debut release. She’s an incredibly adept storyteller, reflected in both the musical arrangements and her choices that, taken from the rich vein of both traditional and contemporary material, give voice to the poor and oppressed. This really is something very special.” Folk Radio UK
