Bridget Hayden is an experimental musician whose haunting, atmospheric sound draws from the landscapes of Todmorden, West Yorkshire. With a voice weathered by time, her music blends aching folk abstractions with immersive, reverb-soaked textures.
Underpinned by waves of analogue reverb, and led by Bridget’s stirring and weather-beaten voice, the songs drift and crawl like low heavy clouds on flat-top hills, shaped by the land. The backdrop is equally as arresting, all subtle gloom cast in shadow, a gentle but pronounced swirling of textures, crafted from harmonium and violin courtesy of The Apparitions (Sam Mcloughlin and Dan Bridgewood-Hill). Her shows conjure a world where guitar swells and sombre melodies intertwine, pulling the audience into a soundscape both vast and intimate – ghost music for the living and breathing.
“Hayden’s voice floats over these ancient songs like a mist on the Yorkshire Moors and the result is an album of sinister, haunting romance.” – The Times
