The group’s “startling and shimmering” (Folk Wales) songwriting blend of folk, jazz, and musical theatre sounds, has seen them enchant audiences far and wide, from guesting on Radio 3’ In Tune, to opening for Radio 2 Folk Award Winners The Young 'Uns, to festivals including Secret Garden Party, FolkEast and Celtic Connections.
With a repertoire that spans traditional ballads to original compositions on subjects as diverse as fenland witches to drag artists, their powerful music and captivating storytelling transports audiences through a unique and transformative musical experience. Their 2025 EP, Hold the Wonder, is a celebration of a cappella singing which forms a central core of the band's live show. Wise Woman are Anna Pool, Lydia Bell & Charlotte Vaughan
