Blueflint have previously released two highly acclaimed albums; 'High Bright Morning,' and the much anticipated 'Maudy Tree.'

The sound of Blueflint is defined by the sublime close harmonies of Deborah Arnott and Clare Neilson whose voices are accompanied by a five-piece line-up intertwining banjos, fiddle, piano, electric guitar, double-bass and drums in raw, honest and beautifully-crafted songs, imbued with a strong alt folk flavour.

2012 saw Blueflint support The Proclaimers for six weeks, taking in venues such as Edinburgh's Playhouse and London's Shepherds Bush Empire. Blueflint's atmospheric and evocative performances, proved them to be a formidable live act and gained them a strong reputation and following through the UK.
