Erÿs are a vibrant three-piece contemporary folk band that breathe new life into the genre, combining rich new melodies with traditional repertoire.
Members Meriel Paget, Buffy Hughes and Freyja Evelyn work together to create original compositions and reimagined arrangements, drawing inspiration from their diverse backgrounds growing up in Cumbria, North East England and West Wales. Combined the three create a rich acoustic palette as fiddle and cello build melodic dialogs, weaving around each other and Freyja’s vocals and guitar.
Their repertoire ranges from lively, foot-stomping compositions to more delicate melodies, each piece reflecting their shared love for musical storytelling - offering fresh perspectives for new generations.
