Blueflint

 

Touted by the Scotland on Sunday Review as one of the top ten acts to watch, Blueflint are based around the banjo duo of Deborah Arnott and Clare-Louise Neilson. They subtly intertwine the three-finger picking and clawhammer styles of banjo playing to accompany striking vocals and harmonies in original songs and ballads of love, loss and revenge.

Blueflint are touring Scotland in the autumn following the release of their new CD 'High Bright Morning,' produced by Jim Sutherland (Aberfeldy, ‘New Town’ BBC).

Blueflint's unique and atmospheric sound is enhanced by an excellent lineup of talented and versatile musicians including Roddy Neilson on fiddle and Hugh Kelly on double bass.

"...beautiful ballads of love and revenge with fantastic harmonies......what's not to love?" Scotland on Sunday Review

"Blueflint play haunting bluegrass shot through with a yearning sadness and soothing harmonies. Influenced by old- time Americana they have added a full backing band giving their music even more depth." The List

"A female banjo bluegrass duo you just have to hear...Deborah Arnott and Clare-Louise Neilson are sublime as they sing ballads of love and loss. Blueflint deserve your attention." Daily Record
