Banjos and vocals together in dark harmony

About the band

“A female banjo bluegrass duo you just have to hear. Deborah Arnott and Claire-Louise Neilson are sublime as they sing ballads of love and loss.......not since the film Deliverance has a banjo grabbed your attention. Mixing Americana with the melancholy of Scottish folk this is a band I'd like to see on the BBC's Hogmanay show.......Blueflint deserve your attention.”

[Rick Fulton The Daily Record]

"Blueflint play haunting bluegrass shot through with a yearning sadness and soothing harmonies. Influenced by old- time Americana they have added a full backing band that play with them from time to time giving their music even more depth."

[The List]

"...beautiful ballads of love and revenge with fantastic harmonies......what's not to love?"

[Scotland on Sunday Review]

"Drawing mostly from their own material, Deborah Arnott and Clare-Louise Neilson played what could very loosely be described as bluegrass-derived songs, but they weren't afraid to play around with the genre, exceptional harmonising. Their version of the old Elvis classic That's All Right breathed new life into a tired old warhorse."

[Martin Lenon, the Edinburgh Evening News]

“sweet-toned banjo.”

[North Devon Journal]
