Norman Blake is best known as the guitarist, vocalist, and co-founder of the celebrated Scottish alternative rock band Teenage Fanclub, though he's also amassed an impressive resume of side projects. During his downtime from Teenage Fanclub, Norman Blake often busied himself with a wide range of collaborations and side projects. In tandem with Euros Childs of Gorky's Zygotic Mynci, he formed the group Jonny. With Eugene Kelly of the Vaselines and Eugenius, Blake recorded as the Famous Monsters. Francis MacDonald, Blake's BMX Bandits and Teenage Fanclub bandmate who has also worked with Belle and Sebastian, has performed with Blake under the moniker Frank Blake. After moving to Canada in 2009, Blake started writing songs with Joe Pernice of the Pernice Brothers, and the two recorded and toured as the New Mendicants. And Blake has enjoyed an especially fruitful partnership with Jad Fair of the legendary lo-fi group Half Japanese. In addition to Teenage Fanclub cutting an album with Fair, Blake and Fair teamed up for a 2015 duo album, Yes, and Fair, Blake, and the Japanese group Tenniscoats joined forces for two albums together, 2014's How Many Glasgow and 2017's Raindrops.

Siwan Catrin is a Welsh harpist, folk musician, and singer-songwriter, now based in South London. Singing traditional and self-written pieces in both Welsh and English, she finds in the folk songbook not cosy nostalgia or otherworldly whimsy but hope for a radical future. By transporting us to times before our contemporary social order, folk songs give us glimpses of how the world was transformed - and how it might be again. At the same time, they show us how certain themes and stories, human hopes and heartaches, remain unchanged across the ages. In these possibilities - what can change and what can endure - Siwan finds her solace and the inspiration for her debut EP Possibility, released in April with Circle Dance Recordings.

Our connection to the music, our friendship, and the stories carried in rebetiko songs all sit right at the centre of what we do.

Were always keen to meet others and often collaborate with musicians from Greece and Cyprus, across Europe, and in the United States. At the end of the day, Sevdalides is about connection.
