Fay Hield & The Hurricane Party
Fay Hield & The Hurricane Party is a folk project led by Yorkshire-born singer Fay Hield, who is from the United Kingdom and was born in 1978. The act works within English folk and draws on traditional material, with arrangements that range from forceful songs to more delicate, reflective pieces.
Album Orfeo
The 2012 album Orfeo includes contributions from accordionist Andy Cutting, concertina player Robert Harbron and fiddler Jon Boden, who is Hield’s partner. Its material moves through a varied set of traditional songs, including The Lover’s Ghost, Sir Orfeo and The Cuckoo.
Style and repertoire
The project presents traditional songs in different moods and settings, from stronger, more muscular delivery to quieter, dreamier pieces. Hield’s singing is central to the group’s sound, and the material is rooted in the folk tradition.
