The Askew Sisters
Emily and Hazel Askew are fast becoming one of the most popular and respected duos on the English folk scene. From dark ballads to uplifting dance tunes, they play with driving energy and the unity of two people who have played together all their lives. The sisters use fiddle, melodeon and concertina to breathtaking effect, creating cinematic arrangements that get to the very heart of each song.

Just caught up with this, thanks to BBC Radio 3's Music Planet and Kathryn Tickell for playing The Firr Tree from 'Enclosure'. We love this show and it's sadly one of the great Radio 3 programmes having its slot cut down - it's always full of wonderful adventurous music so please do support it and the other specialist music programmes if you can.
