Multi-instrumentalist, singer and composer, we are delighted to have Hazel joining us for Burwell Bash 2025.

​

Based in London, Hazel creates powerful music inspired by the folk traditions of England and beyond. She is fascinated by the enduring sounds and stories of this music, and how they draw on timeless themes such as life & death, power, gender and politics.

Over the last fifteen years Hazel has become renowned as a skilled and engaging performer on the folk scene, creating new interpretations and striking arrangements of traditional and original music in every project she works on. She is best known for performing within a longstanding duo with her sister Emily as The Askew Sisters and as a third of Lady Maisery. She has been three times nominated for BBC Radio 2 Folk Awards, winning Best Album as part of Songs of Separation in 2017.
