Frankie Archer
“Have you ever been there at the start of something new? Something exciting? Something that crackles with possibilities?” Gavin McNamara (Bristol 24/7) captured in words the freshness of Frankie Archer’s music after seeing her live on her debut tour. Mark Radcliffe (BBC Radio 2) described her music as “Fascinating and Intoxicating”.
Frankie Archer creates her own imaginative and bold mash of electro alt-trad using fiddle, electronics and voice. Listening to Frankie’s music you will hear her Northumbrian fiddle roots, her deep love of electronic music and her immersion in soulful folk songs from the North East of England and around the world.
Frankie’s unique, fresh sound has pricked up the ears of fans and journalists in the folk world and beyond, earning wonderful reviews from Tradfolk and Fresh on the Net, plays on BBC Radio 2 and BBC Radio 6music, and being chosen by Fatea for their latest Showcase Session.
