Gemma Khawaja is a singer & guitarist from the Midlands, now based in Norfolk playing and singing traditional songs of the British Isles and creating her own songs and arrangements inspired by rural poets, mythology and folklore. Gemma’s arrangements of traditional songs emphasise the universal human emotions, stories & themes found in folk traditions and sensitively draw out the richness and beauty of the old melodies. Gemma has a strong, unaccompanied voice and plays the guitar, tenor guitar and dulcimer and regularly accompanies herself live. In her recordings, a variety of instruments such as dulcimer, guitars, drone sounds from shruti box/concertina chords and various percussive sounds are used plus a lot of everyday sound recordings and various editing to create evocative atmospheres.

Jacken Elswyth is a London-based folk musician, banjo player, and instrument builder.

In her music making she is focused on exploring traditional tunes, developing extrapolations on folk styles and techniques, and investigating drone, ambience, and improvisation within and beyond folk music. She organises the Betwixt & Between tape series as one avenue of these investigations. She plays and records solo and in collaboration – with Shovel Dance Collective, Sullow, and others. 
​
She also builds and repairs banjos and other instruments, with a focus on folk craft and vernacular styles. This practice and these instruments inform and facilitate her music making.
