About Trio Threlfall

JANE & AMANDA THRELFALL take quintessentially English traditional songs and breathe new life into them, invoking a refreshing sense that this was how they were always meant to be. Along with musician ROGER EDWARDS, they are universally acknowledged as natural ambassadors for English trad song.

A little water has now flowed under the bridge since Amanda first joined her sister singing English traditional songs. Jane was already an established performer in her own right, having previously sung solo and then later with guitarist Carl Hogsden. During that collaboration, Jane and Carl became involved in the classic Folkworks tour 'Wassail', fronted by John Kirkpatrick.

With the sisters now singing together, and following an invitation to perform at a small local festival, Jane and Amanda approached Roger Edwards to be their accompanist and it was this trio that first presented the Threlfall sisters as a new musical entity, focussing solely on traditional English.

Within three years of Jane and Amanda having joined forces, their first album Morning Tempest was released, with Roger Edwards and Martin Ellison, followed a couple of years later by Gown of Green. Both albums were very well received, reinforcing the Threlfall's reputation as respected performers who demonstrate enormous integrity in their approach to, and presentation of, English traditional songs. Their intuitive interpretations have become synonymous with the capture of all the richness and depth of quality inherent in their source material.

When sales of Morning Tempest and Gown of Green were exhausted, it regrettably triggered the deletion of both albums. However, persistent requests for replacement recordings of the earlier repertoire made Revisited, the sister's third album with Roger Edwards, virtually inevitable. Sweet Nightingale is the Threlfall's most recent album.
