Hazel & Emily Askew
Emily and Hazel Askew are a young duo making waves on the folk scene with
their energetic brand of English folk music. Using fiddle and melodeon,
they play and sing with an infectious enjoyment and love for the music,
winning them fans wherever they go.
From rhythmic foot stomping tunes to powerful interpretations of songs and ballads, their playing always guarantees to engage and inspire those who hear.
They've spent the last few years playing at venues across the country, from top festivals and folk clubs to London's National Theatre and National Portrait Gallery.
2010 sees the release of Though Lonesome Woods - a long awaited follow up to their critically acclaimed debut All in a Garden Green in 2007. Check out their tour dates and come see them live!
"Hazel's rich gutsy voice and inventive melodeon playing combined
with the skill of Emily's singing fiddle or soulful cello are a
new force to be reckoned with!"

"What the Askew Sisters do so well is tell the story and
allow the music accompanying to help that story-telling along."
