Glastonbury Emerging Talent Winners Bridie and The Arbour Announce New Single Prolong

Sitting “somewhere between the lushness of Norah Jones and the quirkiness of Joanna Newsom”, Bridie Jackson and The Arbour's music is simultaneously beautiful, ethereal, dark and powerful.

Recently revealed as winners of the 2013 Glastonbury Emerging Talent Competition, they are “the kind of beguiling, affable folk band whose sound feels so natural and inviting you wonder why your first listen wasn't so much sooner”.

With their sparse instrumentation, intriguing vocal harmonies, and influences as diverse as gospel, Baroque and flamenco; the Newcastle-based quartet are frequently proclaimed to be completely unique.

They released their début album in January 2012, with a sell-out show at The Sage Gateshead and have since gained national recognition, with radio play on BBC 2, 3, and 6Music, and performing live sessions for Dermot O'Leary and Loose Ends.
