Green Ribbons

Green Ribbons is a project dedicated to the celebration of unaccompanied song. The current line-up features Debbie Armour (Burd Ellen), Frankie Armstrong, Alasdair Roberts and Benjamin Jinnwoo Webb (Jinnwoo, Bird in the Belly). Their debut release is an intimate collection of traditional and newly composed songs. Recorded live at Studio 95 in Brighton by engineer Tom Pryor,GREEN RIBBONSsees each artist featured solo, in duet and in full ensemble. Ben Jinnwoo Webb brought the project together in July of 2018:

Very broadly speaking, unaccompanied singing seems to have gone out of fashion in more recent years but it's always something I have enjoyed performing and listening to when I've had the chance. I wanted to get a group together whose voices I feel really lend themselves to storytelling, and focus purely on the voice and the stories. We wanted to make something very rough around the edges and unpolished, a kind of documented swapping of songs
