DAPHNE's FLIGHT

Five of the finest singer-songwriters of their generation, Daphne's Flight is a unique and magical blend of individual styles that captivate audiences with complex harmony arrangements, unbridled energy and the infectious joy of performing together.

In 2017, after a 21 year hiatus, Daphne's Flight re-emerged with their second critically acclaimed studio album Knows Time, Knows Change.

'Solid gold standard dream-team music making. A key album of this year already, and nomistake' froots

'Individually they are classy performers, together they are utterly sublime' FRUK

With several more successful tours of the UK and the release of a Live Album in 2018, their Festival performances are among the highlights of every festival they've played. 2020 sees the release of their third and most ambitious studio album to date. There's no holding back now!

In 1995, Christine Collister, Melanie Harrold, Julie Matthews, Helen Watson and Chris While, acclaimed and appreciated for their individual talents as folk, blues, rock and soul singers, found themselves at the Cambridge Festival. They decided to sing some songs together ... magic happened and Daphne's Flight took off. A widely acclaimed eponymous studio album and UK tour followed with a prestigious date at London's Union Chapel, all of which marked a turning point in the role of women within the English folk movement.

Some of the written response on Daphne's Flight website after their sensational appearance at Cropredy Festival August 2019

Daphne's Flight, the highlight of the whole weekend. You took me to church with your heavenly vocals Steve

You were BRILLIANT! We saw you at Cropredy. A breath of fresh air and totally inspirational! You brought laughter and tears. I/we look forward to seeing and hearing you again - very soon! - Mandy

My wife Petra and I heard you at Cropredy yesterday. You ladies rose the spirits of the earth and moved the rolling sky! Pure heartfelt beauty, a delight to listen to you. We didn't know about you before, grasped all 3 of your records and will purchase the new one when it's released. Please let us know! Bless you! - Michael

You were the best band at Fairport's Cropredy Convention 2019 Kathy
