All music by Bridget Hayden, except 'When I Was In My Prime' - Trad. Arranged by Bridget Hayden.
Bridget Hayden is a Todmorden-based musician & rural conjurer noted for her participation with free-form noise rock acts such as Vibracathedral Orchestra, Schisms and Sunburned Hand of The Man.
More recently, she's been found performing under various monikers related to the "Folklore Tapes" collective including "TV Terrorland" and "Echo of Light". Other collaborators include Bill Nace, Dan Bridgewood-Hill, Sam Mcloughlin, Roy Claire Potter and Mary Stark.
Bridget’s solo output is somewhat difficult to define, often falling into and swinging in-between the static-haze between words and worlds. Aching, yearning folk abstractions drift and swing between blistering, swelling guitar-crackle: Ecstatic fire, paradoxically concussing and elucidating.
Ghost music for the living, breathing and feeling.
