Folk on Foot

Olivia Chaney at the House on Hawnby Moor

Olivia Chaney wrote many of the songs for her critically acclaimed second solo album whilst living alone without electricity or mains water at her family’s remote and crumbling farmhouse on Hawnby Moor in North Yorkshire. On a hot summer’s day, she takes Matthew Bannister back across the Moor, singing and playing along the way, circled by curlews and lapwings, to share the atmospheric isolation that brought her inspiration.---Access exclusive films of Olivia performing along our walk, along with over 100 other performances from dozens of artists, by signing up to Folk On Foot On Film: <a href="https://www.folkonfoot.com/watch">https://www.folkonfoot.com/watch </a>We rely entirely on support from our listeners to make Folk on Foot.
