Hailing from Ireland and England, Lon Dubh are Branwen Kavanagh, Anna Ling and Hannah Partridge. Summer 2023 saw their first international performance as a trio at Stimmen Festival Ettiswil in Switzerland.

All three are established solo artists in their own right, drawing upon folk traditions in their own unique ways. Branwen Kavanagh is a prolific composer and songwriter, musician, sculptor, storyteller, puppeteer, visual artist, writer of surreal visual plays and a lively adventurer from the West of Ireland. The trio sing arrangements derived from Branwen's original compositions.

Anna Ling is a playful and poetic singer/songwriter, choir leader, and music teacher who connects audiences with her engaging charisma and sing-a-long sections. Shes influenced by a strong connection to traditional British folk music and a long-running fascination with weird and wonderful singing styles from across the globe. Hannah Partridge is a folk musician (aka Anna Anise) and arts producer, folding traditional celtic tunes into her songwriting and supporting fellow women and non-binary artists through creative projects. Shes never far away from storytelling lyricism and enigmatic melodies.

Between them Branwen, Anna and Hannah have a wealth of experience in the folk/alt scenes playing at festivals and venues across the country. The trio have been deepening their sound at an old mill in the South Devon countryside this year, and are now embarking on their first UK-wide tour.

[Lon Dubh] had an entirely seamless blend between their voices and yet also found space to express their individual personalities, often veering into hilarity between mesmerising songs of death and longing. - Beth Roberts, Cuculi Records

This bright and joyful trio light you up with playful melodies and stunning harmonies... With whispers of Irish folklore, trad folk and jazz ... the way theyve craft each song highlights their individuality and their vocal solidarity. - Jya Raine, We Are Wild Sessions
