Anthropocene Motherhood

A Concert with Briony Greenhill on voice and piano with Matt Kelly on viola

Doors 7pm show 7.30pm

What is it to bring a child into this country, culture, world at this time? 

What world do I give you, what do I give to the world? What could it be instead?

This new body of work from folk-soul improvisational artist Briony Greenhill has emerged from the journey into motherhood. Songs of love, conceiving, birth, land reform; how can we re-shape this design to put nature at the centre? Including our own.

At first airing on stage at the Land Skills Fair this summer, the audience wept. 

“Briony’s voice touches something so deep inside, something that’s hard to communicate as a parent of a young one in this world at this time. Her tone is enchanting, old and unique, and her lyrics speak poetry to the unspeakable – the unique experience of being awake and aware to the plight of the world, but trying to live in joy and action, purpose and care. She has something special to say. And the way she brings it to parenting makes it especially unique for us – who struggle to feel a sense of community and shared experience with others. For a short time, her art gave us that.” – Abel Pearson of Glasbren

“Greenhill’s jazzy, languid lyrics groove on the healing beauty of song, the planet and your own heart and soul, like Marvin Gaye crossed with a funky Earth mother…. This is sensual music that, if you want them, could give extra reasons to live.” – Mojo

“As I watched and listened to Briony I found my soul and heart transfixed. When we sing and commune with Briony, we experience an artist coming to us straight from her soul, unfiltered, direct, and all who listen are transformed and feel ourselves and our connection to the world so much more deeply as this tremendous, once-in-a-decade artist brings us deep into her world, a world which is all of our world.” – Yari Mander
