Francis Frenzy from EP by Bellwether
Francis Frenzy (Alex Cumming) - Alex was commissioned by Beverly Francis to compose a bluesy, minor jig for an English Country Dance, and so was born Francis Frenzy.
Rhena’s 80th (Louise Bichan) - Rhena was Louise’s great-aunt. She was tiny (“peedie” as we’d say in Orkney,) but a big character!
Cutting a Slide (Phil Cunningham) - The one and only Phil Cunningham penned this one. It’s one of Eric’s favorite tunes from a prolific writer and musician.

Collectively hailing from Scotland, England and the USA, Bellwether's sound brings a fresh perspective to traditional music while simultaneously remaining entirely folkie. Stoking the embers sparked by pioneers of the previous generation’s folk revival Louise, Alex and Eric coalesce their talents to create a rich and savory feast of three part harmony and dynamic multi-instrumentalism.
