Brown Wimpenny are an 11-piece folk ensemble based in south Manchester. Celebrated by The Quietus for the “energy, eccentricity, communion and joy” inherent to their raucous and powerful live shows, they weave traditional reels, hornpipes and songs from the British Isles and beyond into a web of drones, dense textures and choral harmonies. While all being involved in various classical, experimental, contemporary noise, post-punk, and electronic projects, these young musicians have converged on traditional music for its beauty and possibility.
