Hebble

+ Leo Brazil

08 June 2025

Rare and beautiful folk songs from around Europe and America arranged and interwoven with care and craft, and plenty of craic. Hebble are an eclectic world folk band with a unique set of instruments that play lively, international traditional music in multiple languages. 

Probably the only trio in the world with Greek Bouzouki, Bodhran, and Cello + 3 vocals. Hebble also has a handful of original songs and tunes inspired by the myth and landscape of the British Isles. Upbeat and interactive with twists of the alternative, and plenty of three-part harmonies.

Hebble are:
- Sam Hodgson (aka Samh) - singer-songwriter, guitarist, & bouzouki player
- Aidan Kilroy - bodhran player & singer
- Helena Drumm - cellist & singer

Quotes
"From the very first tune, they had the audience eating out of their hands. Every time they kicked off another song or tune, the expectation of ' what now?' was palpable. Not only are they superb musicians, the warmth and humour of each personality shines through on stage. I can't wait to get these guys back." - MAGGIE GARRAT, MEWL music

"A great trio. Wonderful harmony singing. Virtuosic instrumental music underpinned by top percussion. A must to see and hear." - TOM MCCONVILLE, BBC folk musician of the year

"Amazing. Oh my gosh, that was so good. Amazing, absolutely amazing, I love that! Absolutely incredible." - GAYLE LOFTHOUSE, BBC Radio Leeds
