Welcome to the home of Horses Brawl, a groundbreaking
contemporary instrumental duo from East Anglia, UK.
Horses Brawl present an innovative take early music, with
roots in renaissance, medieval, baroque and folk traditions
they re-work, re-compose and explore unconventional
techniques.
A masterclass in turning one instrument into many, Horses
Brawl play bowed guitar, double barrelled recorders and
crumhorn solos.
Horses Brawl have been causing quite a stir with their
innovative take on folk and early music. Formed in 2003, the
Norfolk based duo have performed widely throughout England as
well as having tracks from both their debut album and EP aired
on BBC Radio 3, Resonance FM and many others.
Their debut self-titled album released in late 2005 received
highly acclaimed reviews in Songlines, Tradition and The
Recorder Magazine, and their performances have been editors
picks in The Guardian Guide and The Independent. It was also
in the fROOTs Top Ten album list and has had thousands of
iTunes downloads all over the world.
With roots firmly in traditional English folk and early music
from Europe, they experiment with their instruments to produce
contemporary arrangements on guitar, bowed guitar, double
barreled recorders, crumhorn and fiddle. Horses Brawl are
making their mark by being one of the only early music groups
who perform in both concert and gig settings from Queen
Elizabeth Hall suppporting the Orchestra of the Age of
Enlightenment to the Norwich Pop Underground Convention.
Their virtuosity and originality draws in even the most
unsuspecting audience members and they have been hailed by BBC
Radio 3 as ôan early music group to keep an eye on... itÆs
great stuff", (Verity Sharp Late Junction).
Performed with vivacity and verve, they re-work and re-compose
traditional and ancient music including everything from the
tune to a 14th century Italian hopping dance and the mournful
lament of a de-frocked monk to the Norfolk fiddle tune æShave
the DonkeyÆ.
In June 2007 Horses Brawl released their second album
æDINDIRINÆ and will be touring with it throughout the UK in
2007 & 2008.
