ORIGINS

Fiona Fey and Rey Yusuf (pictured) began their collaborative musical journey almost a decade ago, when they worked together in award winning folk ensemble, Tell Tale Tusk. Together they share an undying love for vocal harmony, beautiful string arrangements and stories untold. The band is based in South East London, and they were thrilled to release their debut album in September 2024 with Cuculi Records; a female led alt-folk record label based in Bristol.
