Angeline Morrison

Born to a Jamaican mother and a father from the Outer Hebrides, Angeline Morrison is one of the freshest voices in English folk music today, celebrated for her soulful, resonant voice, evocative songwriting, and deeply affecting performances.

Emerging from the Midlands folk scene, and now living in Truro, Cornwall, her artistry has earned standing ovations on stages large and small, with Mojo ranking her #5 among key voices of 2023.

A singer, multi-instrumentalist and songwriter, Angeline’s music explores ordinary lives with reverence and curiosity.

Accompanying herself on autoharp, dulcimer, and mbira, or singing unaccompanied, she delivers performances that linger long in memory. The Birmingham born-musician is now settled in Cornwall, where she is an active figure in the local music scene.

Her groundbreaking album The Sorrow Songs: Folk Songs of Black British Experience, released on Topic Records, illuminated the often-overlooked Black British presence within the folk canon. Hailed as The Guardian’s Folk Album of the Year, it spent 15 weeks in the Top 40 Official Folk Albums Chart and is described by Angeline as a re-storying and a gift to forgotten Black ancestors and today’s folk community.
