FIREFLY BURNING

”This is music that paints sound pictures and takes the audience in myriad directions at will” – For Folks Sake

“the music is so utterly hypnotic…Firefly are intoxicating, beautiful and affirming” – Matchbox Magazine

“at the avant garde edge of the folk scene, making quirky, challenging and innovative music…bold and stark musical vision.” – Bright Young Folk

Firefly Burning are an East London collective born out of a series of chance musical encounters. Bea Hankey, John Barber, Sam Glazer, James Redwood and Jack Ross create songs which paint sound pictures with javanese gamalan, guitar, strings, piano, gongs and voices.

“If I Had a Ribbon Bow” – Firefly Burning from Good Evening Arts on Vimeo.

Eclectically embracing Sufjan Stevens’ wonky unadulterated pop and the post-minimalism of John Adams, Firefly Burning’s music is full of close harmonies, intricate rhythms and evocative atmospheres. In debut album Lightships shades of Debussy and William Byrd vie with eastern textures to capture their hypnotic live performances.

Firefly Burning are currently writing a second album, working with producer Tim Friese-Green (Talk Talk, Heligoland). They are also in residency in the Royal Brompton Hospital, playing and writing songs with patients on the wards.
