Inspired by voyages to the Outer Hebrides, tales of ancient Celtic Goddesses and great folk singers from Peggy Seeger to Joni Mitchell, Georgie Buchanan is a unique singer and harpist on the contemporary folk scene.

 

Hailing from the North Shore Mountains of Canada and the Chiltern Hills, Georgie has always felt most at home creating music in the rich landscapes of the natural world.  Since immersing herself in the folk world she’s performed with Show of Hands on the main stage of Sidmouth Folk Festival, been selected for Sound and Music’s highly competitive New Voices Programme and had one of her original songs ‘Love is a Rocking Wave’ played on The Nest Collective’s ‘Singing with Nightingales, Homecoming Broadcast’ hosted by Sam Lee.  Georgie was most recently selected to take part in the English Folk Expo’s Artist Mentoring Programme and has performed at Focus Wales 2022 and Cambridge Folk Festival 2022 and 2023.  Last year she has supported critically acclaimed folk acts Ye Vagabonds, Katherine Priddy and John Francis Flynn.

​

Her debut album ‘Wise as a Fool’ is a unique collaboration between Georgie and incredible Leeds based artists Emma Coleman (Me and My Friends), Rob Mackay (Drymbago), Evan Davies (The Often Herd), Joel Stedman and Joe Love (Ancient Infinity Orchestra).  Working with this talented band, Georgie crafts haunting musical landscapes of acapella harmonies and shimmering instrumentals.  Interweaving traditional melodies with original compositions, songs and stories, Georgie’s music speaks of a heartfelt connection with the natural world and charts a personal story of recovery that is relatable at its core.

Georgie toured the UK in April 2023 with sell out shows in Leeds, Bristol, Sheffield and London.
