Anna Tam





​

'Lingering and memorable songs…they pull you inexorably into a delicate fabric of instruments and voices’. FolkWords​
​
‘A ghostly set of British traditionals… nyckelharpas and hurdy-gurdys give her endeavours a necessary heave of grit.’ The Guardian

‘The string playing is of another dimension’
 Irish Music Magazine

Traditional British songs with a loving personal twist

Singer and multi-instrumentalist Anna Tam sings with a clear bright voice and accompanies herself on a selection of traditional and historical string instruments including the nyckelharpa, viola da gamba, hurdy gurdy, cello, piano and whatever else she can find. 

After her performance you can meet Anna at a special 'meet the instruments' session.
​ 
Shortlisted as ‘Instrumentalist of the Year’ by Fatea Magazine in 2020 and 2021 both for her solo performances and her work with the group ‘Wilde Roses’, Anna released her debut solo album ‘Anchoress’ in Spring 2021 to critical acclaim and is preparing to release her second album ‘Hatching Hares’ in June 2022.
