The Kraken Consort - O'er the Moor: Songs and Dances from Scotland and Ireland

The Kraken Consort was born in 2021 from the imagination of three musicians, friends and colleagues: theorbist Bruno Helstroffer, soprano Chantal Santon Jeffery and tenor Robert Getchell, a Celtic music enthusiast. They share a taste for traditional oral and improvised music, and were keen to team up with instrumentalists with in-depth experience of traditional music: Ronan Pellen (cistre), Brewen Favrau (piper), Sylvain Barou (flute), David Lombardi (violin) and Laurene Durantel (double bass). For their debut album, Kraken Consort revisit the Irish and Scottish musical tradition.
