Ann Dumbrell

Ann has been involved in music and dance for quite some years, and started playing autoharp in 2012. In the following year the duo ‘Ann & Rex Dumbrell’ began playing traditional dance music at local events.

 

For three years they were resident musicians for Korollerien Bro Ponvel, playing for weekly dances and festiou noz. They competed twice in Kan ar bobl  competitions and at the Festival Plinn, where they were placed in the top three!

 

The duo was playing traditional English music in concert, but after ‘Brexit’ in 2016 became far more involved in playing Swedish traditional music, which is particularly suited to their resonating string sound.

 

Ann has subsequently acquired a vintage Swedish zittran and a more modern harpeleik, which give the music real authenticity.
