The Kittiwakes

about

The Kittiwakes was a three-piece British folk band formed in 2007 comprising Kate Denny on vocals and violin, Chris Harrison on accordion, and Jill Cumberbatch on violin, mandolin and guitar. The band split up during the writing of a second album. The band was formed in order to play and arrange compositions written by Denny after she had visited the Lofoten Islands in Norway. Denny already knew Harrison - who plays accordion and piano and a lot of other instruments - from their time working in music education in Greenwich and Lewisham. Cumberbatch joined the group after an advertisement was placed in a musician's website called Musofinder. The band split up during the writing of a second album.
