Angeline Morrison

Angeline Morrison is a Cornwall-based singer-songwriter and one of the leading voices in contemporary British folk.

Angeline has established herself as a prominent figure in British folk music, being heralded for her soulful, resonant voice, evocative songwriting, and deeply affecting performances. Both her songwriting and interpretive approach to traditional folk song explores ordinary lives, with reverence and curiosity. Accompanying herself on autoharp, dulcimer, and mbira, or singing unaccompanied, she delivers performances that linger long in memory. Her groundbreaking album The Sorrow Songs: Folk Songs of Black British Experience, released on historic label Topic Records, illuminated the often-overlooked Black British presence within the folk canon. Hailed as

The Guardian’s Folk Album of the Year, it spent 15 weeks in the Top 40 Official Folk Albums Chart and is described by Angeline as a re-storying and a gift to forgotten Black ancestors and today’s folk community.

Alex Rex

Alex Rex is the ghost-folk project of Alex Neilson (Trembling Bells, Bonnie Prince Billy, Shirley Collins) singing songs of love, loss & loathing. Alex Rex is the musical project of Scottish songwriter and celebrated drummer Alex Neilson, best known as former bandleader of the psych-folk group Trembling Bells. Across a series of critically acclaimed releases Neilson has developed a singular voice, blending acid wit, emotional candour and a deep engagement with myriad musical canons, from British folk through psychedelic rock, country, and rock and roll to name but a few.

A longtime collaborator with artists including Bonnie “Prince” Billy, Shirley Collins and Current 93, his work moves between raw immediacy and lyrical introspection, earning praise for its playful irreverence and distinctive imagination. His fourth album, The National Trust, marks a deeply personal closing chapter for the Alex Rex project, reflecting Neilson’s enduring commitment to emotionally direct songwriting and uncompromising musical vision.
