Rosie Hood is a folk singer songwriter and musician known for her strong, pure voice and captivating performances. A long time member of The Dovetail Trio, Rosie is a BBC Performing Arts Fellow and was nominated in 2016 for a BBC Radio 2 Folk Award. Immersed in traditional music most of her life, she researches the archives in her native Wiltshire, and has a broad repertoire of local traditional songs. 

 

Rosie is joined by long-term collaborator fiddle-player Nicola Beazley, melodeon-player and percussionist Robyn Wallace and fiddle-player Rosie Butler-Hall to form The Rosie Hood Band. With experience playing for ceilidhs, dancing and in brass bands, the instrumentalists bring a great dynamic lift and drive, continuing Rosie's vision of re-working traditional English songs, as well as writing and arranging original material, touching on nature, human struggle, women’s voices and unheard stories.

​

With outstanding musicianship and a deep understanding of tradition, Nicola, Rosie and Robyn's sensitive playing combines perfectly with Rosie’s voice, skilfully and empathetically lifting each song.​
