Introducing Heather Ferrier – jazz tinged, alt-folk accordionist, clog dancer and composer
‘She can open up listeners to the possibilities of progressing folk styles in the 21st century.’ Fatea
Heather Ferrier completely charmed a packed Bridgwater Hall in Manchester for the opening ceremony of the 30th annual WOMEX in October 2024, with her disarming personality and virtuoso playing of the accordion, but when she put down the accordion and, without any music, gave a skilful exhibition of north of England clog dancing, the concert hall erupted.
With captivating musicianship and a sound that is unapologetically her own, Heather Ferrier is a force to be reckoned with. An ‘engaging talker and magnetic performer’ (NARC magazine), the Stockport-born accordionist, clog dancer and composer is changing the perceptions of alt-folk and the accordion as an instrument, all on her own terms.
