Broomdasher

  • Estuary Club 1386 London Rd, Southend-on-Sea, SS9 2UJ (map)

Broomdasher are a London-based acapella group who first came together in 2016 having spent many years performing both solo and in other groups.

They share a love of traditional songs from across the British Isles entertaining with their arrangements of both the much-loved and less well known songs and encouraging audiences to join in.

Broomdasher are: Richard Cryan, Deena Marcus-Jedamzik, Margaret Moore and Jo Swinhoe. All are accomplished musicians and creatives in their own right but together provide opportunity to sing along, listen with and reflect on, the rich heritage of folk song and story telling.

They regularly sing at folk clubs and festivals, have hosted their own radio specials and been re-booked everywhere they’ve performed. All their recordings are in the British Library's National Sound Archive Collection as "an outstanding example of grass roots folk music today". Mike Norris of EFDSS Radio says, “Lovely harmonies, they clearly enjoy singing together”.
