Birdvox is an exciting new electro-folk band born from a mutual love of birds, harmonies and kitchen discos. Together they embrace energetic, shapeshifting synthesis and the joy of vocal interplay. Expect velvet harmonies, considered lyrical stylings and lively bespoke beats. Birdvox comprises four established, multi-tasking artist-producers: Sarah Hayes (vocals, flute, synths, programming), Charlotte Printer (vocals, bass), Jenny Sturgeon (vocals, guitar, synths, sampling) and Inge Thomson (vocals, accordion, electronica, beats). Birdvox is an evolution of the collaborative cross-arts project Northern Flyway (2018-2021), a touring audio-visual show which garnered much acclaim. Its subsequent album recording received several 5* reviews and was included in Songlines ‘Best Avian-Inspired Albums’ Top 10.

Working across genres of traditional folk, indie, electronica and pop, and singing in Scots, Shetland dialect, old Norn and English, Birdvox distil their individual influences into a unique musical point of view and a joyful live experience. They have been featured in Songlines magazine and received glowing reviews for their vibrant shows:

“Perhaps the standout event of the whole festival… exciting and energetic… at the intersection of boundary-pushing art and extremely listenable, melody-based pop”
(The Skinny)

After honing their live sound on festival stages including Celtic Connections, Cambridge Folk Festival and Edinburgh Tradfest, Birdvox have recently put the finishing touches to their first studio recording with producer Peter Brewis (Field Music). The resulting twelve songs and instrumentals are fresh, striking explorations of subjects including the natural world, friendship, mental health, gender politics and environmental and social issues. Unflinching, uplifting and danceable in equal measure, the eagerly anticipated début album from Birdvox will be released on Hudson Records in Autumn 2026.
