Daphne's Flight live in London

Experience Daphne's Flight live on March 11th

Daphne’s Flight will be performing at Cecil Sharp House in London on March 11, 2027. The duo creates a distinctive sound rooted in Celtic and contemporary folk traditions, often incorporating elements of jazz and classical music. Their instrumentation typically features Karla Heasley’s harp alongside Fiona Driver’s flute and vocals, resulting in intricate arrangements and evocative melodies. They are known for both original compositions and interpretations of traditional tunes.

Cecil Sharp House holds significance as the home of the English Folk Dance and Song Society (EFDSS). Opened in 1932, it was named after Cecil Sharp, a key figure in the late 19th and early 20th-century folk revival in England. Sharp dedicated himself to collecting, transcribing, and preserving English folk songs, dances, and customs which were rapidly disappearing.

The building itself serves as a national resource centre for folk arts, hosting workshops, performances, and a library with extensive archival collections related to English folk music and dance. It is designed to facilitate both performance and educational activities relating to traditional arts. The venue's acoustics are well-regarded within the folk music community, making it a popular choice for artists working within the genre.
