About

Originally crossing paths in the session scene of Cambridge, Orphean Sprig are an instrumental folk band with a shared passion for the traditional music of Scotland. Comprising a guitar, three fiddles, and occasional viola, they explore arrangements of traditional, contemporary, and self-penned tunes, creating a rich texture and original sound. As a nod to their beginnings, they like to include an element of spontaneity in performances, a characteristic of the sessions in which they met.

Songyuan Zhao, North East China - guitar
Isobel Barber, Derbyshire - fiddle
Liam Cooke, Scottish Borders - fiddle
Isaac Uden, South East England - fiddle and viola
