Bird in the Belly is a Brighton based folk collective, consisting of alt-folk musician Jinnwoo, folk duo Hickory Signals , producer and multi-instrumentalist Tom Pryor, and visual artist and musician Epha Roe.[1]

History

Late 2016, Jinnwoo announced he was working with a new folk collective called Bird in the Belly.[2] Bird in the Belly stated their objective as a band was to uncover forgotten or overlooked British songs, stories, and poems, and reintroduce them into the current folk music canon.[1]

Bird in the Belly released their debut single "Horace in Brighton" on 24 November 2017, the lyrics of which are based on the poetry of Horace Smith, and detail his day trip to Brighton in 1813.[3]

Bird in the Belly released their debut album The Crowing on the 23rd March 2018, through a partnership between GFM Records and Proper Music Distribution. The album received critical acclaim, and was made 'Album of the Week' in the Daily Express who called it 'Folk album of the year so far" [4]

Film

The band is reportedly working on a documentary film which documents the album making process, and looks at the current British Folk Scene as a whole. Already involved in the project are June Tabor, Frankie Armstrong, Stick in the Wheel, The Rails, Naomi Bedford, Lisa Knapp, Gerry Diver, Fellside Records, Ian Anderson and Rob Young.[5]
