Blackthorn Oxford, UK
Blackthorn: we take British traditional songs and tunes, and give them a twist. Songs about clapped-out nags, cross-dressing
sailor girls, gruesome murders, and cheating philanderers are our ingredients.
Our instruments are a heady cocktail of acoustic and electric: measures of bouzouki and fiddles, shaken (not stirred) with electric guitar, bass, and drums.
