Tealeaf arose as a project out of people coming together through traditional music. It was born out of sessions, sailing and living on boats together, and the wonderfully creative communities surrounding the Fal river. It began by discovering and interpreting traditional ballads that tied into the way communities and culture in Cornwall - where they are based - are changing. This led to writing new songs collaboratively that are a combination of original ideas and experiences and re-contextualising themes from the folk tradition that have weaved their way back into our day-to-day lives such as the housing crisis and the de-industrialisation of Cornwall. Ollie, Phylly and Tom use Cello, Bouzouki, Harmonium, Banjo and guitar, alongside their voices to build music full of rich harmony, warmth and dread.
